Two FBI agents investigating the murder of civil rights workers during the 60s seek to breach the conspiracy of silence in a small Southern town where segregation divides black and white. The younger agent trained in FBI school runs up against the small town ways of his partner, a former sheriff.

Editor's Verdict

❌NO

"Mississippi Burning is a serious drama/thriller focused on civil rights-era violence. Despite being released during the holiday season, the plot, themes, and setting show no meaningful connection to Christmas."
