Silence in Sikeston

Silence in Sikeston tells the story of how the 1942 lynching of Cleo Wright -- and the failure of the first federal attempt to prosecute a lynching -- continues to haunt a rural Missouri community divided by race, with the past reverberating in a 2020 police killing of a young Black father. Along the way, the film explores important questions about history, trauma, silence and resilience.
