MURDER IN MISSISSIPPI HAS TO BE A MUST HAVE FOR YOUR DVD COLLECTION
WHY IS THAT? THE STORY OF THE 3 CIVIL RIGHTS WORKERS WERE KILLED IN A VICIOUS AND BRUTAL SLAUGHTER. I DO AGREE THAT THE THEIR DEATHS WERE AS VICIOUS AS IT GOT. THE ENDING IS VERY GRAPHIC BUT NECESSARY TO SHOW YOU THE VIOLENCES AND BRUTALITY THAT THESE WORKERS SUFFER IN THE HANDS OF BIGOTRY. I LOVE THE MESSAGE THAT THIS MOVIE HAS TO OFFER WHICH IS REGISTER TO VOTE!!! IF OBAMA BECOMES PRESIDENT REMEMBER THAT HE MADE IT THERE BECAUSE PEOPLE LIKE MARTIN LUTHER KING, MALCOLM X, AND THE CIVIL RIGHT WORKERS WHO WANTED CHANGE IN AMERICAN VOTING SYSTEM AS WELL AS CHANGE IN OUR SOCIETY. REMEMBER PEOPLE IN THE STRUGGLE HAVE DIED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE IS COUNTED, BY DISRESPECTING THEM VOTING PROCESS YOU DISRESPECT REASON WHY THESE INDIVIDUALS GAVE UP THEIR LIVES FOR THE CAUSE. I WILL TREASURE THIS MOVIE AND SHOW MY CHILDREN WHY ITS IMPORTANT TO VOTE . THE PERFORMANCES ARE EMMY WINNING. EVERYONE WAS BRILLIANT IN THIS. IT HAS A DEEP AND POWERFUL MESSAGE NOT ONLY ABOUT YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE BUT HOW COLOR SHOULD NOT BE A ISSUE WHEN YOU ARE FRIENDS. THAT BLACK AND WHITE CAN GET ALONG IF YOU DONT JUDGE THE PERSON BY THEIR SKIN BUY THE MOVIES ITS A CLASSIC.

This is the best way ever to teach kids about the horrors some experienced in America during the Civil Rights Movement. Generally, my students don't "get it" before they see this movie. After they see it, they realize that had they lived during that time period, they would have had to be careful of every action, everything they wore, and everything they said in public. They also realize that life as they know it in a multicultural society, would never have existed. It's an eye-opener. Tom Hulce is outstanding as Michael Schwerner. Jennifer Grey is just right as his wife. Blair Underwood - awesome. It's not unusual to have kids visibly moved at the end. They become totally engaged in the story, and they come away with a deeper understanding of what it meant to fight for civil rights in this country. Be aware the the language is frank and realistic, and the violence is shown as matter-of-fact. Some debriefing is required if it's shown in a classroom, or to kids younger than 13.

This is a very powerful story. I graduated from college in May, 1964, and was keenly aware of the brutal struggles endured by African Americans in Mississippi. This was a murder case in which the perpetrators killed with no remorse. It is impossible for me (as a white man) to imagine what it would have been like to be black and live in Mississippi during that time. This was happening in other states as well. It is a shame the killers were not convicted of capital murder. No criminal jury in Mississippi would have convicted the killers of murder. I suppose violation of the victims' civil rights was better than no justice at all. I recommend this film and another, Mississippi Burning.

I have used an increasingly deteriorating videotape of the original broadcast on lifetime in my classroom for years, I'm glad that this film has finally gotten the recognition of a proper DVD release. Not only does this film dramatize an important and terrible event in the civil rights movement in the 1960s, it is a well acted and interesting film. This is a great teaching tool for college students because the 3 civil rights workers are the age of most traditional college students.
