4 Little Girls

1997-07-091h 42mDocumentary7.1/10TMDB · 59 votes

On September 15, 1963, a bomb destroyed a black church in Birmingham, Alabama, killing four young girls who were there for Sunday school. It was a crime that shocked the nation--and a defining moment in the history of the civil-rights movement. Spike Lee re-examines the full story of the bombing, including a revealing interview with former Alabama Governor George Wallace.

“On that Birmingham Sunday the blood ran like wine”
