Description from Wikipedia:
Monster's Ball is a American/Canadian drama film directed by Marc Forster, starring Billy Bob Thornton, Halle Berry, Heath Ledger and written by Milo Addica and Will Rokos. It was produced by Lions Gate and Lee Daniels Entertainment. The title comes from a custom in medieval England where prisoners awaiting execution were called monsters.
