In 1963, civil rights activist Medgar Evers was murdered in Mississippi. Thirty years later, a district attorney and Evers' widow fought to bring the white supremacist responsible to justice. Despite numerous setbacks, they persisted, and in 1994, Byron De La Beckwith was finally found guilty and sentenced to life in prison. The film is a powerful retelling of this true story, highlighting the determination and perseverance of those seeking justice.
