Viola Liuzzo was the only white woman murdered during the Civil Rights movement, and her dramatic story provides a somber backdrop to a nuanced family portrait. It’s bad enough for a mother to be murdered by the Ku Klux Klan, but what if the FBI’s investigation is maliciously bungled and the surviving family members never get any closure? Viola’s son Tony is the backbone of the film: a militia member who turns his back on America and goes off the grid. His sarcastic response to seeing state troopers drive by his house, “I feel safe knowing that they’re here,” both hides and reveals his heartbreak.  NK
