Little did she know that only 8 days later Emmett would be abducted from his Great-Uncle's home brutally beaten and murdered for one of the oldest Southern taboos: whistling at a white woman in public.This groundbreaking film shows unprecendented accounts by first-hand witnesses many speaking out for the first time and the discovery of potentially guilty parties still living and liable for prosecution.System Requirements:Running Time: Approx. 70 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: DOCUMENTARIES/MISC.
