Neshoba: The Price of Freedom: Tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

As part of the 25th Annual Brooklyn Tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. BAM Rose Cinemas presents The Price of Freedom.

"Neshoba:The Price of Freedom 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. Although Klansmen bragged about what they did in 1964, no one was held accountable until 2005, when the State indicted preacher Edgar Ray Killen, an 80-yearold notorious racist and mastermind of the murders. Through exclusive interviews with Killen, intimate interviews with the victims' families, and candid interviews with black and white Neshoba County citizens still struggling with their town's violent past, the film explores whether the prosecution of one unrepentant Klansman constitutes justice and whether healing and reconciliation are possible without telling the unvarnished truth. "
