Preview Screening of Neshoba at Columbia University
On November 23, 2008, hundreds attended the preview screening of Neshoba at the Columbia University, Graduate School of Journalism. Neshoba producer-directors, Micki Dickoff and Tony Pagano spoke about the making of the film. The brothers of Andrew Goodman, James Chaney and Michael Schwerner also spoke at the event, which raised funds for the Andrew Goodman Foundation.

Neshoba, co-directed by Micki Dickoff and Tony Pagano, powerfully relates the story of a town divided about the meaning of justice, 40 years after the murders of civil rights workers James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner. The documentary relates a story of pain, justice and healing through interviews with the families of the victims, black and white Neshoba County citizens and first time interviews with the unrepentant Klansman who was finally found guilty in 2005 for the murders.
