Atlanta, the city of Martin Luther King. Is his fight for equal civil rights over? Martijn and Finbarr attend a service at the Vision Church. There they meet LGBTQ+ activist Tracey, who fights for the civil rights of trans people. In Jackson, Mississippi, they investigate the role of the Freedom Riders, a group of white and black students who traveled through the southern US on buses in the 1960s to combat racial segregation. They were dispersed with brute force. A generation ago, the Klu Klux Klan marched through the black neighborhoods of Selma, Alabama. What are the relations between black and white now?
