Freedom Summer actually sets the degree for the depth of what’s to come back. As the narrative unfolds, we see the effective tension between the idealistic adolescents volunteers from the North and the harsh realities they face in Mississippi. The bravery of those young humans, who arrive inside the South with goals of changing the arena, contrasts sharply with the hostility and danger they quickly encounter.
