Greensboro, NC, 1979: Five members of the Communist Workers Party are killed in broad daylight by the Ku Klux Klan. Though the murders are captured by TV news cameras, no one is ever convicted of the crime. The Greensboro Massacre haunts the survivors, Klansmen, and the city of Greensboro for a quarter of a century, with no hope of resolution. Until, in 2004, they all converge at the first Truth and Reconciliation Commission ever held in the US.
