Emily Mann’s Greensboro: A Requiem employs documentary technique to unearth the truth about what happened on November 3, 1979, when the Ku Klux Klan and Nazi Party opened fire on peaceful demonstrators in Greensboro, North Carolina. Five Communist Party Workers were killed and their killers filmed by WXII News. Over the next six years, three separate trials failed to convict a single Klan or Nazi member for the crimes. Greensboro: A Requiem examines the roles of the Greensboro Police Department, the media, and the federal government in the murder of American citizens. It sounds the human cost of hatred and violence, and challenges our assumptions about basic freedoms and protections in America, 2010.
