DESCRIPTION:This hour long documentary is about the creation and activities of the 
 Mississippi State Sovereignty Commission, a spy network that was set up by 
 the Mississippi State Legislature, to spy, gather intelligence, and monitor 
 the Civil Rights Organizations in Mississippi during the mid 1950s to the 
 1960s, who were fighting to register black voters, organize demonstrations 
 against segregation, and educate the general public about the harsh 
 conditions facing blacks. The documentary reveals how the State Sovereignty 
 Commission hired black people to function as spies in these Civil Rights 
 organizations. These informants, in turn, provided large amounts of 
 information about the activities, especially of its leaders, to the 
 commission. This documentary shows how the Mississippi government was able 
 to accumulate large amounts of data on private citizens through secret 
 surveillance and spying  via this unknown, behind the scenes, secret 
 government commission. Spying has not gone away; it is done on a massive 
 scale today by the NSA, as Eric Snowden’s whistle blowing has revealed, 
 an issue of great concern to all Americans. This is a must see video.\n\n
