2014美国纪录片《自由之夏》由斯坦利·尼尔森导演,影片讲述的是:
In 1964 despite the best efforts of local civil rights activists Mississippi remained virulently committed to segregation underscored by the systematic exclusion of African Americans from the political process In response Robert Moses of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee developed a campaign to bring a thousand volunteers—primarily enthusiastic young white supporters—to the state to encourage voter registration provide muchneeded education and convene a more representative delegation to attend the Democratic National Convention
Veteran director Stanley Nelson Freedom Riders screened at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival captures the volatile months of that summer through remarkable period footage and the firsthand testimonies of volunteers who were transformed by their time in Mississippi With the Supreme Court recently striking down a key section of the Voting Rights Act Nelsons film is a potent reminder of the sacrifices made half a century ago to ensure civil rights for all and the vigilance needed to protect what they accomplished BT
