I would like to recommend a movie called 'Mississppi Burning'. It is a powerful movie based on the investigation of the murders of 3 civil rights workers in 1964. This story is still relevant today in my opinion, because there are so many violent acts taking place today, that it wouldn't be necessarily uncommon for an event such as this one to take place in 2014. There are unarmed teens being shot and minorities still being mistreated for no reason. It is scary knowing that the people of my ethnic background, or other minorities can be potential victims just because of their race, or that someone like my cousin could have been in Michael Brown or Trayvon Martins position, just because of where he lives and how he dresses. All of these issues are still relevant today. Whether its unarmed teens being victims, innocent elementary school children being victims, or workers just trying to do their job being killed by people with hate in their heart. They are all cruel acts. For the information on the real story of the men in Mississippi you can go to this link: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/mississippi-burning-murders-resonate-50-years-later/
