How to Sue the Klan; I'm Still Here

In 1982, five Black women from Chattanooga sued the Ku Klux Klan in a groundbreaking civil case. Their victory set a legal precedent that held the Klan accountable and inspired future battles against organized hate. This film chronicles their bravery and the lasting impact of their fight for justice and community healing. Between 1947 and 1967, Birmingham, Alabama, witnessed over 50 bombings targeting Black-owned homes. This film follows three individuals who, as children, lived through the terror and stayed in the city. Together, they seek to turn Birmingham’s painful history into a symbol of hope, resilience, and civil rights progress. Directed by: Sam Miller
