Two Towns of Jasper

★ 7.5/10•2002•1h 30m•Documentary

One murder. Two communities. Three trials. No single truth.

Using two separate filmmaking teams (an all-white crew filming white residents and an all-black camera crew filming black residents), TWO TOWNS OF JASPER captures very different racial views by townsfolk in Jasper, Texas, the location for a racially motivated murder of an African American man in 1998.
