When your state contains an emblem that has long been used as a symbol of hate and white supremacy, how do you engage with those who consider it a part of their heritage?
Mississippi Turning tells the story of artist and advocate Genesis Be’s powerful, collaborative efforts to remove the confederate symbol embedded in her home state’s flag.
Produced by Moral Courage and Breakout Films. Executive producers Irshad Manji and Aunjanue Ellis.
Directed and edited by Adam Grannick

Through Love, we are each created in God’s image and filled with the Divine Spark. No matter whom we love, no matter how we look, no matter where we are on our journey, God’s imprint is in every person of every race/ethnicity, every gender, and every sexual orientation. We believe God speaks many languages and is calling us on many paths to peace—Shalom. We believe that Love put on flesh—brown, poor, Jewish baby flesh—and came to live among us. We believe God lives among us still; we are the living body of Christ. We are the hands, feet, and heartbeat of God. We believe the Spirit of God calls us to freedom, and we are not free until all of us are free.
