After watching the movie 'Mississippi Burning', I feel that it indeed is a meaningful movie. Mississippi Burning is a American crime drama film based on the FBI investigation into the real-life murders of three civil rights workers in the U.S. state of Mississippi in 1964. The movie focuses on two FBI agents, Agent Rupert Anderson and Agent Alan Ward, who investigate the murders. Their characters are loosely based on the partnership of FBI agent John Proctor and agent Joseph Sullivan.
In the story, it is very hard for the two to work in the town, as the local sheriff's office is linked to a major branch of the Ku Klux Klan, and the two agents cannot talk to the local African American community, due to their fear of Klan retaliation. After some time, relations between the FBI and the local Jessup County sheriff's office deteriorate, as do relations between the two FBI agents.
To aggravate the situation even more, bodies are located and the Deputy Sheriff, Clinton Pell realizes that his wife gave their locations to Anderson and assaults her in a fit of anger. When Anderson sees her in the hospital, he storms off to confront the Deputy but is stopped by Ward.
After a brief scuffle, the two agree that they will work together and bring down the Jessup County branch of the Ku Klux Klan using Anderson's as yet untried approach.
The story is based on racism, and about how the FBI agents try to help the African American community as much as they can.
