ABOUT

On June 7, 1998, three white men from Jasper, Texas, chained African-American James Byrd to a pick-up truck and dragged him until his body disintegrated. This powerful documentary takes you to the white and black communities as it records their separate reactions to the most vicious racially motivated murder in the last 50 years.

This film provides an unprecedented opportunity to see the divisions that separate one person from another. The public performance version includes an extensive guide for leading classroom and community discussion on issues related to diversity and racism.
