Recy Taylor, a 24-year-old African American mother and sharecropper in 1944 Alabama, becomes a symbol of resilience after being gang-raped by six white men. In a time when fear silenced many, Recy courageously named her attackers, prompting the NAACP to enlist Rosa Parks, their chief investigator on sexual violence. Parks galvanized community support, igniting a powerful demand for justice. This documentary not only highlights the historical abuse faced by black women but also sheds light on Rosa Parks’ pivotal involvement in Recy’s fight for recognition and justice.
