4 Little Girls

A Sunday morning in Birmingham, Alabama, shatters with an explosion at the 16th Street Baptist Church. The blast claims four young girls attending Sunday school, a brutal act that galvanizes the civil rights movement and scars a nation. Spike Lee meticulously reconstructs the 1963 bombing, weaving together archival footage, haunting photographs, and poignant interviews with grieving families, survivors, and key figures like former Governor George Wallace. The film becomes both a forensic investigation and a memorial, tracing the threads of racial hatred that led to the tragedy and its enduring legacy.
