Our TWO TRAINS RUNNIN’ encore presentation starts this Friday, Feb. 16! 
During the Freedom Summer of 1964, hundreds of college students traveled to Mississippi to fight for civil rights. Eventually, three activists would be murdered. 
At the same time, two smaller sets of friends also went to the state, looking for legendary blues musicians Skip James and Son House, who hadn't recorded in decades. 
It was easy to mistake one group for the other. Finally, on June 21, 1964, the two collided in memorable and tragic fashion.

Directed by Sam Pollard. Narrated by @common 
Featuring Gary Clark Jr., Buddy Guy, Jimbo Mathus, Alvin Youngblood Hart, Valerie June, Chris Thomas King, Jimbo Mathus, North Mississippi Allstars, and Lucinda Williams.
