Synopsis:
Inspired by actual events, FREEDOM HIGH takes place in June 1964, when
black Civil Rights workers trained hundreds of white volunteers to work
in Mississippi registering blacks to vote. Jessica, a young white
volunteer, has no idea has no idea how dangerous – both physically and
emotionally – the project will be. Instead, she throws herself into
learning non-violent tactics and stubbornly trying to befriend an angry,
wounded veteran of the Movement.
When three Civil Rights workers who’d been at the training the previous
week disappear, the volunteers are forced to decide if they can risk
their lives for a mission that seems doomed. Jessica discovers the deep
– sometimes dark – complexity of her motivations, and those of everyone
else involved.
