Mississipi cold case

Filmmaker David Ridgen works with Thomas Moore to crack this civil-rights-era cold case. Long forgotten, and over-shadowed by the famous white victims of the Mississippi Burning murders, the case of African Americans Henry Dee and Charles Moore has gone nowhere for decades. In 2005, Ridgen and Moore find new evidence and personally confront Klansmen long thought dead. They doggedly push officials to reopen the investigation and in the process ignite the story into a national and international if restorm. As a direct result of their efforts, Klansman James Ford Seale goes to trial, is convicted and given three life sentences. Thomas Moore and Henry Dee’s family come full circle when, after the trial, they are asked for forgiveness by one of the Klansmen involved in the brutal killings.
