"Burning Mississippi" is a film focusing on the 1950's civil rights movement. When three young civil rights activists are murdered by a police officer. Two FBI agents come down to investigate their disappearance and quickly discover that it was the police that were behind it. The rest of the movie is about these two agents attempting to catch the people responsible amid the rising ethnic tension in the state that is caused by their presents.
Two police officers have a relationship that is often seen in police shows, the old, experienced one that knows the area and the new idealist city cop conflict over how to solve a case. They finally get a breakthrough when the though, Mississippi born, Anderson violently threatens the deputy sheriff Pell and scares witnesses into testifying.
I liked the 1950's styling the movie has as well as the dark aesthetic and stories line. Possible problems are getting models of the right race.
