Home of the brave

Viola Liuzzo, a 39-year-old mother of five, was the only white woman killed during the civil rights movement. Paola di Florio's powerful and poignant documentary rescues from obscurity Liuzzo's tragic untold story. Dramatic archival footage recaptures this turbulent era and compelling interviews with her children paint a vivid portrait of a shattered family determined to uncover the truth about their mother's murder, and the government's campaign to smear her name.
