His wife, Myrlie Evers, played by Whoopi Goldberg tries to bring his murderer to justice twice with hung juries. Medgar Evers' killer would be played by James Woods as Byron de la Beckwith, in which the movie shows continuously of his constant hatred and racism towards other races. Also it shows people that it is never too late to receive justice for a crime, no matter how over due it is. The movie offers hope to others who feel there will never be justice for a crime committed against them. The movie really offers great enthusiasm and motivation to others to never give up.
Many problems arise from the movie.
It can give opposing views to different issues of whether some of the movie is based on facts or not. Also, because it really only shows one side of the view, which is how Byron Delebeckwith was a murderer. The other problem would be to the finding of what parts of the movie are true and which is Hollywood based. The major problem in the movie is that it does not focus on the assassination of Medgar Evers but the the lawyer, Bobby DeLaughter who is framed as the hero when the hero or main focus should be Medgar Evers. Very little focus is made upon Medgar Evers and the efforts that he made, which cost his life.
