In 1913, Leo Frank, a Jewish northerner working as a superintendant in a Marietta, GA, factory, was accused of murdering 13-year-old Mary Phagan. He was tried, his conviction was commuted to life in prison rather than death, but an angry mob lynched him. Dramatic re-enactments with actors Seth Gilliam and Will Janowitz spice the documentary.
