All of the police were white, all of the students African American. Almost all of the victims were shot from behind as they fled the gunfire that erupted without warning. It was the first time ever that police opened fire on students on a U.S. campus, yet it remains an almost unknown event in the history of the American civil rights movement. This film sheds light on this event.
