Summary: working through this tragedy
Review: I worked for the sheriffs office when this happen and this movie in no way depicts what really happened in Jasper. sure the sheriff and the mayor were a big part but, then so were all the officers and the police chief and the Byrd family. This movie is a disgrace to the people of Jasper.

Rating:
Summary: I live here and the movie does not show how it really goes.
Review: They dont show it but the African-American guy that gets dragged, accually met in a prision and the White men, although not innocent, did not do it because of racism. The men got into a arguement and the Whites guys overreacted. The hate crimes and the racism have not been for the better, more of the opposite especilly with all the publicity and all everything has gone down. The Whites and the Blacks alike have been cruel. Dont get me wrong, some get along but mostly everything is havoc. This movie is a discusting view of what happened and whatever you do, do not watch it!

Summary: How Far We Still Have to Come to STOP the Hate
Review: This movie is one account of what happens all the time in America.It shows how the family of James Byrd really stopped alot of anger that Could have been out or control in the small community...no one should over react to the point of Killing someone!..it doesn't matter where the Victim and the Murders met!This movie was done in GOOD taste and EVERYONE should see it.
