This film recounts the people and events leading up to the one of the most despicable hate crimes during the height of the civil rights movement, the 1963 bombing by the Ku Klux Klan of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, amid a campaign to end the city's racial segregation laws. In that attack, four little African-American girls lost their lives, and a nation was simultaneously revolted, angered and galvanized to advance the fight for equality and justice.
