- Murder in Mississippi recounts the infamous murders of three civil rights workers by Ku Klux Klan members in 1964. The film dramatizes the last weeks of the lives of the three activists, who made a trip down south to encourage African-American voter registration, and follows the life of one of the victims, Mickey Schwerner, played by Tom Hulce (Amadeus) in an Emmy®-nominated performance.

Movie Reviews of Murder in Mississippi
Movie Review: Emotionally charged, heart pounding scenes
Summary: 5 Stars
You know the horrible outcome of the 3 civil rights workers but at the same time while you are getting to know them in this movie, you almost dont want the TRAGIC ENDING to occur. When they are in jail, you want them to get to make that "one" phone call. When they are being chased by the "Klan" members & sheriff/Deputy (whatever he was he was EVIL) down that dark road -you want them to get away to survive another day.
I love this movie so much because it gives us a close up, inside look into the lives of these civil rights activists. You get to see what their purpose was. You get to see what they were fighting for. So it takes you on their journey. To the tragic ending.
This is a great film that should be shown in every High School & College in the US. So many of these young teenagers & young adults are ignorant to the History of black people, & they should know about this. These 3 young men lost their lives because they believed in EQUAL RIGHTS & OPPORTUNITIES among "all people". Not just for the whites. They wanted all people to have the right to VOTE! Barack Obama became our 44th President! That was such a Historical moment. A African American is now President of the US! This film would have been perfect to show HS & college students because it shows them...look how FAR Black People have come. Do you know how many Black people VOTED on that day for Obama...& YES primarily because he is African American. Many voted for the FIRST time (I thought that was ashame, because I am black & I vote any time its time to VOTE). But maybe that moment in History was what so many of them was waiting for.
Very good film about these 3 Civil Rights activists whom I consider HEROES!
