Great Documentary November 6, 2008
Another highly excellent and sweet production from PBS.
I just hope I'll live to see the day when PBS makes documentaries like "The Rape, Torture and Murder of Christopher Newsom and Channon Christian." I'm not holding my breath, though.

This a fantastic documentary! It is well researched and very engaging. Having shown lots of different videos in class over the years this one always gets an overwhelmingly positive response.
America's redemption February 22, 2006

A very moving documentary, that made me angry about the abhorrent racism in southern states. This absorbing documentary learnt me, a European, also a lot about how America deals with the dark pages in its history. This is democracy at its best.
The Murder of Emmett Till: An Education Worth Viewing October 3, 2005
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
The Murder... provides a thoughtful and soul stirring view of how racial hate destroys individuals and social institutions. At the same time, it is a reminder of the historical nightmares pregnant in America as a result of segregation. Indeed, this film renewed my commitment to be an individual who teaches students about the way African Americans have thrived in the midst of living within and in the blues existence known as racial hate. This is a movie all people need to experience.
