Prom Night in Mississippi

In 2008 Charleston High School in Mississippi had  its first ever integrated prom. Until then the proms were racially segregated, even though the classrooms had been integrated for decades. This film tells the story of the integrated prom and the reaction to it. Canadian filmmaker Paul Saltzman follows students, teachers and parents in teh lead-up to the big day. This seemingly inconsequential rite of passage suddenly becomes profound as the weight of history falls on teenage shoulders. 90 mins.
