The Rape of Recy Taylor

In "The Rape of Recy Taylor", a searing documentary, Roslyn Sear and Mira Nair shine a light on a landmark case that shatters the silence of a brutal era. In 1944 Alabama, 24-year-old sharecropper Recy Taylor courageously confronted her six white rapists, refusing to be silenced by the fear that gripped so many black women during Jim Crow's reign of terror. The film tells the powerful true story of Rosa Parks' pivotal role in supporting Taylor's fight for justice, shedding light on a legacy of physical abuse and sexual assault against black women in the Deep South.
