This original documentary film is the story of fearless Mississippi sharecropper-turned-human-rights-activist Fannie Lou Hamer.

Hamer delivered heart-wrenching testimony before the 1964 Democratic National Convention’s Credentials Committee. As significant as that speech was, it is but one moment within the activist’s career that spanned nearly 15 years and took place before audiences in every region of the country. 

One of the movement’s preeminent orators, Hamer used stories from her own life to call America to account for the racism that defined every aspect of her existence.
