Directed by Paul Saltzman, PROM NIGHT IN MISSISSIPPI is an eye-opening reminder that racism is alive and well in America, 54 years after the U.S. Supreme Court ordered an end to segregated public schools. Resistance to integrating the prom comes primarily from parents, while the students, for the most part, sound a hopeful note, articulating their own feelings in the face of the prejudices of their parents and grandparents. Prom Night In Mississippi premieres Monday July 20 9PM/8C only on HBO. For more information, go to hbo.com/docs
