MississippiBurning is an eye opening film about the Racism in a small town of Mississippi. Film begins on the killing of three Human Right Activists by the police in the town. The trio was declared missing and CIA starts the investigation. As everyone is involved, including the police and judiciary, in the hate crime against the Colored people, the very powerful CIA also remains helpless and the attacks on colored people and their killings and rapes continued right in front of the eyes of CIA officers by KuKluxKlan.
The film is reminder of the fact that a brain-washed society can go to any extent to prove their superiority by any means, and harmony becomes a distant call. On top of that, if this extremism enters the system of law and order, it becomes even more dangerous, because then, the state machinery is used to expand extremist motives. We are witnessing similar situations, aren't we?
The most disturbing part is that the film is based on the true events. It is based on the murders of three civil right activists: James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner on June 21, 1964 at Neshoba country, Mississippi. It is also known as FreedomSummerMurders.
