Institute History
Description
Congress recently re-authorized the FBI to investigate and prosecute hundreds of unsolved civil rights era murders under the Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights Crime Act but despite spending over $100 million there have been almost no prosecutions. An examination of one such case –the bombing of a Natchez, Mississippi NAACP leader by a white supremacist group — reveals a story of black defiance and armed resistance that our traditional Civil Rights narrative has long overlooked.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
