A Time to Kill
3.75/5
Mississippi Burning
4/5
I should note that I've not seen either of these in years, but it was striking the interview statements taken from the local townspeople (fictional) during the investigation of Mississippi Burning. Statements almost verbatum in the news today. It was unsettling to a degree. Then I thought this is probably just humanity. Bias and discrimination has been part of our history since we stepped out of the cave, I'm sure. Ingroup/Outgroup or such.
Then I questioned whether the comments were the same because of our faults and bigotry or if "media" fanned the flames of the time similarly to how some claim this to be the case now.
That was a weird head trip watching these movies and recognizing (and even questioning, sadly) the parallels.
