Wrong with Authority Ep5 Mississippi Burning

Another re-release of an old episode of WWA - my previously lost project with Daniel, Kit Power, and James Slater-Murphy - in which we used to look at movies about history and the history they're about.  In this show - first published on the 27th July 2017 - we looked at Alan Parker's Mississippi Burning (1988) and its relationship to the real case of the three murdered civil rights workers Chaney, Goodman, and Schwerner, by the Klan in Neshoba County, Mississippi, 1964.

Yes, we're skipping over episode 4.  Because four people were involved in every episode, every one of us four has to be happy for an episode to be re-released and some of us were dissatisfied with 4 to the point of preferring it to stay unavailable.  This is a shame in many ways as it was Kit's episode, he put a huge amount of work into it, and it was - in most respects - a corker.  The problems with it were decidedly not his fault.

But here's 5.  One of my episodes.  This was the episode in which we switched to just discussing one movie per episode.  It was also a conscious attempt to make our discussions a bit less overpoweringly white... and this movie was a pretty bad choice for that, as I realised too late.  This episode is flawed, no doubt, but an interesting staging post on the road to IDSG, and still reasonably good in its own right... I hope.
