Excellent film on one of the signature events of the civil rights movement in the 60's. It took real courage to face the hatred and violent bigotry in the American south...these people had it and prevailed.
With the murder of the leaders who helped inspire these changes the nation lost that spirit...of the best of us working together to make life better for all of us...and we've never gotten it back. So the bad guys eventually did win...by a determined and deliberate campaign to take away the sense of "we." Now fragmentation, selfishness reign.
Moving, inspiring...ultimately sad...
