Fantasmas do Passado
20/12/1996
Myrlie Evers trabalhou para que o racista branco que matou seu marido Medgar, heróico ativista na luta pelos direitos civis da comunidade negra nos Estados Unidos, pagasse pelo crim e que cometeu. Isso ocorreu ao longo de 30 anos e dois julgamentos inconclusivos. O modo como o assassino de Evers finalmente foi condenado pelo crime, chega às telas com uma carga emocional perturbadora em "um dos filmes mais importantes dos anos 90" (Paul Wundler, WBAI-FM/Nova York) Dirigido por Rob Reiner e estrelado por Alec Baldwin, Whoopi Goldberg e James Wood (Indicado ao Oscar® por sua poderosa atuação), "Fantasmas do Passado" cuidadosamente recriou detalhes de uma incansável busca por justiça. Também conta com a participaão especial dos três filhos de Medgar Evers e Yolanda, filha do Reverendo Martin Luther King.
