🎬 Title: 100 Years From Mississippi

A poignant tale of resilience, forgiveness, cherished memories, and hope.

Story: In the dark of night in 1915, Mamie Lang Kirkland recalls the terror that gripped her family in Ellisville, Mississippi. They were forced to escape from an angry mob intent on lynching her father and his friend. While her family managed to get away, her father’s companion, John Hartfield, met a tragic fate, falling victim to one of that era’s most brutal lynchings. Mamie promised she would never return to Mississippi—until now. A century later, her youngest son, filmmaker Tarabu Betserai Kirkland, accompanies her back to her hometown to share her story, honor those who experienced the horrors of racial violence, and illustrate the courage and hope that defined her generation.
