About
A powerful courtroom drama from Rob Reiner, Ghosts of Mississippi is based on the trial of white supremacist Byron De La Beckwith, who was accused of assassinating a Black civil rights leader three decades earlier. After two earlier trials were left with hung juries, ambitious assistant District Attorney Bobby DeLaughter (Alec Baldwin) resolves to seek justice for Byron’s widow utilising new evidence of past jury tampering. A tale of longstanding injustice and the fight to right past wrongs, Ghosts of Mississippi sweats in the Southern heat as its gripping story unravels.
