"Spies of Mississippi is an important story about democracy. From 1956 to 1997, the Mississippi State Sovereignty Commission infiltrated civil rights organizations in the state in an effort to preserve racial segregation. Documents made public in 1998 revealed the extent of the publicly-funded spy operation, with secret files on more than 87,000 American citizens and complicity in the murders of three civil rights workers. Unlike a book or documentary, this appumentary leverages the multimedia capabilities of the iPad to enable audiences to engage, explore and respond"
