A Texan Murder in Black and White - Storyville

on BBC Four

In June 1998 James Byrd, an African-American, was chained to the back of a truck and dragged three miles to his death. Three men from Jasper, Texas, were charged with this brutal crime, and this film follows reaction to the trials in 1999 from the viewpoint of both black and white residents of the town.
