Movie: Fannie Lou Hamer’s America (2022, Not Rated, 56 Minutes)

This film is “a documentary produced by her grand-niece Monica Land, and winner of Best TV Feature

Documentary or miniseries at the IDA Awards, is a portrait of a civil rights activist and the injustices in America

that made her work essential. Through public speeches, personal interviews, and powerful songs of the fearless

Mississippi sharecropper-turned-human-rights-activist, Fannie Lou Hamer’s America explores and celebrates the

lesser-known life of one of the Civil Rights Movement’s greatest leaders.” (Women Make Movies)

“A powerful film, one that illustrates the challenges and sacrifices so many faced in fighting for the right to vote.”

- Sylvia Bugg, Chief Programming Executive & General Manager, PBS

“Monica Land has provided us with the rare opportunity to peek inside the life of one of America’s most

important moral leaders.” - Erika Dilday, Executive Director, American Documentary

“The film is offering to a new generation of audiences called upon to take up the mantle of

preserving American democracy.” - The Baltimore Times
