Prom Night in Mississippi

Whatever you thought to be true in the US mid-west such as racism and segregation are proved to be true as this shocking documentary proves that in Charleston, Mississippi, there's two proms for white and black students because the white folks do not want their children to mix. Actor Morgan Freeman was shocked to hear it about his hometown, so he decided to change it by offering to sponsor a mixed prom. As we find out most of the students do not want a segregated prom but can't do anything about it since the mighty and racist white folks rule the town and nobody can do anything about it. It's specially heartbreaking to hear it from the students about the reality of their daily lives. Even some of the white kids are punished who have black friends. Writer and director Paul Saltzman exposes the issue through Freeman and some of the people affected that's touching and unbelievable that such places still exists in the US.
