Summary:
November 3rd, 1979. Five demonstrators are shot and killed by members of the Nazi party and KKK. The entire event is televised. No attacker is ever convicted. This is a story about violence, injustice, and the politics of race. This is the story of an American tradgedy.
Critics:

- Kris Vire, TimeOut Chicago
"Highly Recommended"
"...a threnody of sorrow, rage, and regret runs through the script, and Akin's cast captures this still-overlooked dark chapter with grace and power."
- Kerry Reid, Chicago Reader
