Yankee Girl
An unflinching and heartfelt story about racism and finding the strength to stand up for what`s right. Set in the Deep South in the 1960s, Yankee Girl still has strong resonances today. Synopsis It`s 1964 and Alice Anne Moxley has moved to Mississippi from Chicago with her family. The `Yankee Girl` is taunted by the other girls at school, although she soon discovers the other new girl - the school`s first black student - suffers much worse. Alice is disturbed by what goes on, but knows she will remain an outsider if she defends Valerie. It takes a tragedy for her to realise what is really important and find the courage to act.
