Passage at St. Augustine

Passage at St. Augustine profiles the bloodiest campaign of the entire Civil Rights Movement. Set in the nation's 'Oldest City' - ironically named for a black preacher and African bishop - this 18-month battle is told through the voices of those on the front lines, from civil rights field lieutenants and foot soldiers, to Klansmen and segregationists, to the highest ranks of LBJ's Oval Office. Using riveting archival sound and footage, first-hand accounts and headlines from the times, the hour-long film begs the question why this campaign – that led directly to the passage of the landmark Civil Rights Act of '64 – appears to have been wiped from the hard drive of history.
