As a documentary, it achieves everything it should: it informs us, it moves us, and it reminds us of the evil that we Americans have in our past, and still have today. "Never forget", indeed. It goes without saying that this was an awful act of hatred, its impact still sharply felt by friends and family of the victims. However, I question the need for Bill Cosby to chime in, or Jesse Jackson for that matter. It pulled me out of the film for a moment. Other than that, a strong and memorable film.
