I am still shaking.

1. Oh my goodness, You have my sympathies.

Its a very rough flick to absorb and sit thru

[Diamond_Dog]

2. Yes it certainly is, NightWatcher

[Hoyt]

3. Great and powerful film.

[Diamond_Dog]

4. Just unbelievable but based on a true story

Hard for me to even talk about it.

[Dan]

5. Yes, a powerful film, but one thing they neglected to share

While they were searching for the 3 young men, they discovered several other bodies of people that had been killed.

6. I have recently re-watched MB and In the Heat of the Night...

One question: Have the attitudes in the un-Reconstructed South changed all that much?

[Boomerproud]

7. Obviously not.

Read the comments section on YouTube on any civil war or Lincoln related topic and you'll see the craziness.

8. It has changed a lot in my opinion.

Having spent time in Mississippi in both the 1960's and the last decade I see a huge difference. One thing you have to realize about the Red States is that the people are only human. The big difference is that they are subjected to a non-stop Republican propaganda machine. The newspapers, the radio and the television are all at it 24-7. Even in the sixties not all white people were racists assholes and there were quite a few that were kind.
