      abstract = {Hate Crimes in the Heartland is an award-winning  documentary film and community outreach project that  explores our national epidemic of hate crimes through the  lens of Tulsa, Oklahoma.  Emmy-winning producer Rachel Lyon  explores two stories, over 90 years apart, that both  dissect current issues of civil rights and the media's  impact on justice. The film begins in Tulsa in 2012, where  two white men drove through the African-American Greenwood  neighborhood targeting blacks at random, killing three and  leaving two others in critical condition. The film follows  the murders, the ensuing social media uproar, the manhunt,  and ultimate prosecution and death penalty sentencing of  two suspects. The film ties this crime back to the 1921  Tulsa Race Riot, an event that left 300 dead, 10,000  homeless, and 35 square blocks of the African-American  community burnt to cinders.  Sadly, the 1921 Tulsa Race  Riot and the 2012 murders are not merely events of the  past, but current events that we see echoed in society  today, from Ferguson's Michael Brown to Florida's Trayvon  Martin. This powerful documentary depicts how racial  animosity has defined much of American culture for more  than 90 years, and asks important questions about media,  race, crime, and punishment.},
