   Is 'Mississippi Burning' a true story?

   • A few miles outside of Philadelphia the deputy stopped their car again--this time after a wild chase--and turned them over to a group of Neshoba County Klansmen. Their bodies wouldn't be found until over a month later by FBI agents. That's the real story. "Mississippi Burning" is a close dramatization of it. I watched in both disgust and surprise.

   Is 'Mississippi Burning' a documentary?

   • But “Mississippi Burning” is not a documentary, nor does it strain to present a story based on the facts. This movie is a gritty police drama, bloody, passionate and sometimes surprisingly funny about the efforts of two FBI men to lead an investigation into the disappearances.

   What does 'Mississippi Burning' feel like?

   • Alan Parker ’s “Mississippi Burning” feels like a movie made from the inside out, a movie that knows the ways and people of its small Southern city so intimately that, having seen it, I know the place I’d go for a cup of coffee and the place I’d steer clear from.
