Melissa Schnable October 7‚ 2012 “Barn Burning” Perception Sarty in “Barn Burning” is shown to be too young to testify in the opening scene of the story because of his age.

Prentiss Austin I decided on watching Mississippi Burning to write my final paper on. This movie came out in 1988‚ and stared Gene Hackman (Anderson) and William Dafoe (Ward) as F.B.I agents. Mississippi Burning was loosely based on the real life events of the search for three Civil Rights Activists who were kidnapped and murdered in summer of 1964 during the Freedom rides.
