Passage at St. Augustine - Civil Rights Doc A year after the dogs, hoses and bombs produced a civil rights bill, the Movement headed to "America "Passage at St. Theirs are the voices, which tell the story.

FILM SUMMARY
In the spring of ‘64, America learned a surprising secret about Florida – that wading in the surf, jumping in the pool, and strolling under the stars – could get you killed. Augustine" tells the little-known story of the bloodiest campaign of the Civil Rights Movement, where the Klan and Movement fought over the fate of the Civil Rights bill, transfixing LBJ’s Oval Office and leaving

the American public spellbound. Nearly fifty years later, filmmaker Clennon L. King returned to this tourist town–named for an African bishop – to track down veterans from the frontlines – the sung, the unsung, segregationists and civil rights foot soldiers alike. The result is a cinematic page-turner that weaves a compelling tapestry about a missing chapter of the Movement – one that invariably begs the question why a battle so key to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of ‘64 remains hardly a footnote in the annals of history.
