i live down the street from where they were filming! alot of my friends and family are exras in the movie. it was awesome havin everybody here.

[@AubreySongz]

Greenwood is getting put on the map ! (: i love my little town

[@youthchoir1]

Greenwood was my mom hometown, she was born in Sidon, small town outside of Greenwood. I have many family members still live there. Greenwood was a horrible town to live in during the 60's on back, because of the racism. Horrible to live in just like all of the small rural towns during those times.

[@mackmyles7207]

youthchoir1 what are you talking about horrible place to live in the 60s my grandfather told me that none of the civil rights or being horrible to blacks happened there.

[@mrfunnylookinhayes9088]

Sorry but Greenwood was the worst of all. I think changes are slowly happening, but they still have a long ways to go. Love my home town. One thing about Greenwood, the people still have a lot of love. Even though they have been through a lot in their life time. What amazing is, every little small town within 50 miles of Greenwood have gotten bigger and Greenwood is still slow to change. Praying G,wood.

@@mackmyles7207 oh, he fibbed, honey. Try asking the people it happened to. Or the people who tried to physically prevent segregation.

What about 70’s 80’s snd 90’s

[@lexie23ful]

Ahh they started shooting this movie on my birthday!!

[@mjimme]

I loved the movie I used to live in Indianola, MS and went to church and sang in the choir at First Pres My great grandfather was a a minister there in the 1800s.. . I stayed 'til the end of the movie to see where it was filmed. It looked familiar. i loved eating at the Crystal Grill. I wonder if anyone I knew was an extra.

Very nice, informative and interesting video. I'd love to find a print of the picture/painting on the wall of the dog who looks like he's about to step out of that picture at the 4:55 mark. It looks almost like it's in 3-D. Anybody know the name of it or who the artist is?

[@newsocracy]

Michael Hittson His name is William Dunlap. That image is on magnets, prints and other things I assume.

[@i-35vagabond56]

@@newsocracy ok thanks for that. I looked him up and found a print of the picture video.

[@64carolann]

I grew up in Greenwood and found the movie fascinating, especially since my neighbor was the one who eventually was charged and found guilty of murdering Medgar Evers.

[@zadiegregory3097]

For real

[@MsCarlyn1974]

Crazy...thanks for that and glad he got charged.

[@jeffshort7458]

Isn't that Booker's Place on the left @2:19? (Booker Wright)

[@rufuspaigel]

At first I thought the movie would take black people down a road they didn't want to revisit. I was wrong and pleasantly surprise. The cast was great and I believe Oscars will be awarded. My favorite was Octavia and that pie. Giving a pie to a white women back then took a lot of guts and unbelievable courage. The movie was great.

[@themainscoop4678]

Great Movie ❤

[@sarahmcgee6269]

Greenwood is close to where I was born.

[@davidcawrowl3865]

Cute: "Hollywood--Greenwood--sort of goes together". Greenwood needs another blockbuster movie.

[@bathandbodyworksluv]

it's REALLY pretty there!!

[@purvisdavis68]

I think they should have help build Greenwood up bc they made 20 million off the movie and didn't give the ppl not one dime for using Greenwood.....it's a damn shame how ppl use others lives /houses to become rich...sad but true Greenwood look like a ghost town

[@marikiemarie7622]

Your full of shit. The revenue built a school, a mini clinic, 4 groceries stores, a shop drop for children's winter and holiday toy drive, and town hall office for neighborhoods to post needs and to donate. Over 2.4 million went there!!!

[@sherwandamoore1813]

My hometown ❤

[@derpasir]

[@ellajones6812]

[@hanakox2]

i love this movie, its about love, about how peaceful this world can be if we forget the racism and just live as we are, just teach our children that "you are kind, you are smart, you is important" :")

[@lizziebkennedy7505]

But back in the real world, Mississippi Burnin'.

[@lizziebkennedy7505]

Eerch, couldn't the Baptist Town bit be hosted by someone from Baptist Town? This is insensitive shit.

[@tomboy287]

@rufuspaigel considering the pie was made of shit - looooooooooooooooooooool
