In truth, it was an espionage service which infiltrated the civil rights movement in cooperation with the Ku-Klux-Klan. In the 1950s and 60s the Southern United States was a place where strict racial segregation and brutal discrimination against black people was the order of the day. Unknown until now, the state financed an intelligence agency that, at any cost, was to infiltrate and destroy the civil rights movement that was fighting for freedom and equality. Even a large number of blacks were recruited to betray the movement. The documentary \u201cSpies of Mississippi \u2013 the betrayers of freedom \u201d tells a universal story of espionage and betrayal of your own people who believed that they were living in a democratic country.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; disable_custom_paddings_mobile=&#8221;true&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1590755836486{padding-right: 70px !important;padding-left: 60px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]&#8221;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/entertainment\/tv\/showtracker\/la-et-st-spies-of-mississippi-20140210-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><u>The voices heard in the documentary remind us that while there is a New South, even in Mississippi, the old guard has not yet passed.<\/u><\/a>&#8221;\u00a0 <img class=\"alignnone wp-image-38155\" src=\"https:\/\/looks.film\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/798px-Los_Angeles_Times_logo.svg-300x38.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"126\" height=\"16\" srcset=\"https:\/\/looks.film\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/798px-Los_Angeles_Times_logo.svg-300x38.png 300w, https:\/\/looks.film\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/798px-Los_Angeles_Times_logo.svg-768x96.png 768w, https:\/\/looks.film\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/798px-Los_Angeles_Times_logo.svg-766x100.png 766w, https:\/\/looks.film\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/798px-Los_Angeles_Times_logo.svg.png 798w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 126px) 100vw, 126px\" \/>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<strong>Distribution<\/strong><br \/>\nBettina Offermann | <u><\/u><a href=\"mailto:distribution@looks.film\"><u>distribution@looks.film<\/u><\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p><strong>Executive Producers<\/strong><br \/>\n<span class=\"dtable--txt\"> Gunnar Dedio | LOOKSfilm<br \/>\nDawn Porter | Triology Films<br \/>\nRisa Morimoto<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>A co-production by<\/strong><br \/>\nLOOKSfilm,\u00a0<span class=\"dtable--txt\">NDR\/Arte, PBS, ITVS<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Director<\/strong><br \/>\n<span class=\"dtable--txt\">Dawn Porter<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Authors<\/strong><br \/>\n<span class=\"dtable--txt\">Rick Bowers, Dawn Porter<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Creative Producer<\/strong><br \/>\n<span class=\"dtable--txt\">Martina Haubrich<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":34913,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[163,203,196],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.9 -
