Neshoba

Neshoba tells the story of a Mississippi town still divided about the meaning of justice, 40 years after the murders of civil rights workers James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner. While their killers continued to live and prosper, most townspeople remained silent, as if the murders never happened. Neshoba takes an unflinching look at ordinary citizens struggling to find peace with their town’s violent, racist past. Neshoba has won numerous awards including Best Documentary and the Boston Film Festival and Best Political Documentary at the New York Independent Film Festival.
