Spies of Mississippi

In the deep south of the 1950s, a secret spy agency was formed by the state of Mississippi to maintain segregation and white supremacy. With taxpayer funding and unlimited power, the Commission evolved from a propaganda machine into a full-blown spy operation. But how did they get away with it? The Commission itself tells us in over 146,000 pages of files preserved by the state. This documentary reveals one of the most fascinating and little-known stories of America's fight for civil rights, through first-person primary historical materials.
