Leroy Lowe, grand dragon of the Texas Ku Klux Klan confronts everything he's been taught to hate when he's sentenced to three years of hard labor on a prison work farm, where Warden Merville, dead set on rehabilitating Leroy, chooses Emilio, a Hispanic field worker imprisoned for fighting for labor rights, to be his cell-mate. Leroy, confined in a small cell with the enemy, far from the KKK comrades who deserted him, finds the chatty Emilio slowly chipping away at his anger and prejudice. His weekly rehabilitation meetings with the warden, barely tolerable as the man drones on about farm labor and field crops, take on a different meaning when Madalena, a beautiful Mexican maid is hired to clean the warden's office. An unconventional love story develops that opens Leroy's eyes to the possibility of a different life. And a man who was a born and bred racist finds himself heading down a completely different path to salvation.

Press Quotes
Cellmates surfs along mostly on the good fortune of its casting and sly peculiarity of its forced-odd-couple premise.
—Brent Simon, Shockya.com
Bold, witty and hilarious. A slice of comedy heaven. You'll laugh until it hurts.
—Avi Offer, NYC Movie Guru
Broad as the brute force presentation of hot button racial issues are, the players are fully up to attacking it for all they're worth.
—Jules Brenner, Cinema Signals
