Movie probably made in the 90s

Young African American is in a cage in early morning in a field. The field belongs to a slave plantation owner. The young man is disoriented. Main characters are police officers if memory serves me right

Is it Alex Haley’s Queen (1993)?

Alex Haley's Queen - Wikipedia :

“Unknown to Queen, Mr. Benson is a leader among the local Ku Klux Klan. Mrs. Benson, feigning concern for the security of Davis, urges Queen to leave Abner with her in safety while she warns Davis that he is in imminent danger of a “terrible work” of the Klan. Queen goes, and a Klansman follows; when she returns to the Benson home, Abner is not there. Mrs. Benson says that Abner “is doing God’s work tonight”; the child is used as bait to lure Davis from his cabin. The next morning, Queen finds Davis’ hanged and charred body; Abner is inside a wooden chicken cage at his father’s feet.”
