Full Plot Details

NESHOBA tells the story of a Mississippi town still divided about the meaning of justice, 40 years after the murders of civil rights workers James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner. Although Klansmen bragged openly about what they did in 1964, no one was held accountable until 2005, when the State indicted preacher Edgar Ray Killen, an 80-year-old notorious racist and alleged mastermind of the killings. Through intimate interviews with the families of the victims, candid interviews with black and white Neshoba County Citizens, and exclusive, first time interviews with Killen, the film explores whether healing and reconciliation are possible without telling the unvarnished truth.

Movie Reviews

About.com - 10/10 by Jennifer MerinThis gripping documentary forces you to revisit an especially ugly chapter in American history, and question whether it is over and done with -- or not.
NYC Movie Guru - 9/10 by Avi OfferProvocative, well-balanced, unflinchingly honest and profoundly moving with just the right amount of comic relief and non-preachy, inspirational messages.
Time Out - 8/10 by S. James SnyderInterviewing residents from across the spectrum, Neshoba reopens the debate: How was this allowed to happen? How do we move forward? Some questions, this compelling movie reminds us, still require answers.
Village Voice - 8/10 by Ernest HardyThough Neshoba is standard-issue in terms of craftsmanship, the tools used to tell the tale (newsreels, family photos, crime scene and autopsy photos) are masterfully employed.
UR Chicago Magazine - 8/10 by John Esther'Neshoba' is a timeless reminder there are still many in this country believing some American citizens deserve second-class status and therefore we must look to the cameras and courts for justice.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Kenneth TuranThe result is a rich and detailed picture of the particular culture of this particular part of the South.
The New York Times - 7/10 by A.O. ScottThis film is a document of hope, progress and idealism but also a reminder that the deep springs of bigotry and violence that fed a long, vicious campaign of domestic terrorism have not dried up.
Chicago Reader - 7/10 by Joshua KatzmanThe most riveting interview subject is the unrepentant Killen, who granted the filmmakers surprisingly broad access to his personal life.
The A.V. Club - 6/10 by Sam AdamsFor the most part, Neshoba is content to treat progress as a matter of reconciling with the past rather than dealing with the present.
Compuserve - 6/10 by Harvey S. KartenThough not a doc that speeds up the pulse of the audience as it should, 'Neshoba' graphically shows us the atmosphere that led to the killing in 1964 of three civil rights workers in Mississippi.
