Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A rigorous, unflinching examination of a watershed atrocity in American history that treats the lives of the murdered girls with dignity while confronting the systemic racism and violence that enabled it. Spike Lee's documentary is both a memorial and an indictment.
