A inspiring true story

Rating: Null/10 (27 November 2003)

Mississippi Burning is a magnificent, harrowing true story about three young civil rights workers who disappear in the racial segregated 1960's Mississippi. Two FBI agents played by veteran actors Gene Hackman, in a Oscar-nominated performance and Willem Dafoe are sent to Mississippi to investigate the disappearances. They are soon grappling with the local,racist people and Sheriff's office who does not want them there. Beautiful Oscar-winning cinematography amazingly brings this fast-paced story to realization. Every student of life should watch this movie about one of the most troubling times in American history.
