Greensboro: Closer to the Truth (Documentary)
Adam Zucker's documentary revisits the ugly, harrowing sequence of events that transpired in Greensboro, NC on November 3, 1979. As the Communist Workers Party gathered to protest the existence of the KKK (non violently), several carloads of Klan members rolled in, brandishing shotguns and automatic weapons, and firing indiscriminately into the crowd. Many were wounded, five murdered. Zucker visits survivors of the tragedy on both sides to observe the courses taken by their individual lives between 1979 and 2004. Also documented is the first 'Truth and Reconciliation Commission,' a group formed to unearth the details surrounding this tragedy. Its ultimate goal: to foster reconciliation and harmony between the two sides by bringing the participants face-to-face with the reality of their pasts. Go to: www.greensborothemovie.com
