Run time: 90 mins. Originally released: 2012. Language: English. Factory Sealed Brand New DVD Booker Wright was an African-American restaurant owner who also served double-duty as a waiter in a "whites-only" restaurant in Mississippi in the 1960s. He became an unlikely activist for the Civil Rights movement when he appeared on a network TV documentary reporting on the changing times in his small town. Exploding the myth of who he was and his experience serving the white community, Booker's appearance set off a chain of events that eventually led to his untimely murder. BOOKER'S PLACE: A MISSISSIPPI STORY follows director Raymond De Felitta (City Island), whose father directed the original 1966 documentary, as he journeys through past and present-day Mississippi with Booker's granddaughter, searching for details around Booker's courageous life and shocking murder, while also exploring the impact the film had-not only on the local community, but also on Raymond's father.
