This one may need a little context – possibly too much to make it worthwhile, but I’ll leave that up to the experts! Including the film synopsis for reference. rnrnLink to the film’s FB page in the video description: https://www.facebook.com/hcheartland/rnCTA: https://www.virgilfilmsent.com/rnrnrnrnSynopsis:rnThe documentary opens in Tulsa in April 2012, when two white males drove through the African-American Greenwood neighborhood targeting blacks at random, killing three people and leaving two others in critical condition. Terrified community leaders united with government and law enforcement led a successful manhunt. The film follows the murders, social media uproar, manhunt and capture of the suspects who are now serving life sentences.rnHeartland compares this recent hate crime to the 1921 Tulsa Race Riot. In 1921, a white mob rampaged through the wealthy district of Greenwood, destroying 35 city blocks; leaving up to 300 people dead and more than 10,000 homeless – all in one night. Not one white person was ever arrested, tried, or convicted of any crime related to the 1921 Race Riots.rnrnThis documentary takes an in-depth analysis of current and past hate crimes in our country. HATE CRIMES IN THE HEARTLAND explores these events, exposing an all-American city forever divided, and revealing the dangerous connections between the media, power, race and justice. Among the many esteemed interviewees in the film is the Rev. Jesse Jackson. The documentary examines how hate crimes have come to be such a growing tragedy and trend, especially during the past decade.rnTrailer Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFZ-BR0z0R4
