FullDisclosur wrote: November 3, 1979. Greensboro, North Carolina. Willena Cannon, a lifelong civil rights activist and member of the Workers Viewpoint Organization, helped arrange a "Death to The Klan" rally and conference. As she and her 10-year old son, Kwame, began to participate in the rally, the worst possible scenario became a reality. With police suspiciously absent, a caravan of cars filled with Klan and Nazi members rolled through the rally and opened fire on the defenseless protesters. Live footage from local news cameras caught the massacre in its brutal form. In this award-winning documentary, Andy Coon explores the buried evidence from both state and federal court prosecutions by examining the trials under a new lens; he vividly exposes civil trial records, through documentation and interviews, which proved the existence of local police, FBI and ATF informants surrounding the rally. Going one-step beyond the vision of A&E and The History Channel's coverage of the event, Coon fast-forwards seven years later, to the plight of an immature, yet harmless, 17-year-old Kwame Cannon. Arrested for six counts of non-violent burglary, Cannon naively accepts a pre-trial plea bargain consisting of two consecutive life sentences. ?Proper legal representation was provided ?The judge tried to give him fair warning ?His mother was advised to not attend the hearing due to her roots in community activism This is Greensboro's Child
