Madison Movie Chat: "Mississippi Burning"

Join us on Monday evenings for a virtual movie discussion! Before each session, we'll announce a new film choice from Kanopy, a free streaming service accessible with your library card; you can then watch the movie at your leisure and participate in a patron-led discussion via Zoom. We look forward to seeing you there!

Director Alan Parker’s "MISSISSIPPI BURNING" tells the real-life tale of three young Civil Rights workers murdered in deep-South Mississippi, focusing on the FBI agents (the great Gene Hackman and the wonderfully subtle Willem Dafoe) who arrive to investigate the crime. Also starring Frances McDormand and Brad Dourif, the film features a lacerating screenplay by Chris Gerolmo, Academy Award®-winning cinematography by Peter Biziou and a score by Trevor Jones.
