"A contemporary portrait of the small southern town where, in June 1964, three young civil rights workers were murdered for registering blacks to vote. In the thirty years since, Philadelphia, Mississippi has retained its infamous reputation as a racist backwater. Every year, on the anniversary of the murders, national news media converge on Philadelphia in an attempt to learn whether race relations have changed in the American South. Interviews with Philadelphia residents, both black and white, reveal a town full of complexity, with many of their responses unexpectedly challenging viewers to examine their own racial attitudes."@en
