Tread (2020)

Man moves to a tight-knit community in Colorado, starts a successful business & makes close friends. But the bureaucracy involved in the running of his welding business begins to eat at him: he's being treated like an interloper in a community that watches out for its own. And, for the first third of the film or so, we are with him. We agree that he's being unfairly treated. But then the rest of the town gets to tell their stories and we see the full picture. Isn't that always the way?

I couldn't believe I'd never heard of this event, because it's incredibly extreme. Terrifying and terribly sad in equal measure. Suffers only from the inescapable truth that we'll never be able to completely understand what happened here.
