I wish Thompson had gone into more detail about the protestors. He seemed to have found some extremely detailed records, and I would be curious to know what percentage of the protestors/rioters were Ole Miss students and alumni.
Seemed to be fairly low but I wish this was more established.

I thought it was actually quite disorganized. The entire show, I didn't know how they were trying to tie the first black student with an undefeated all white football team.
I have family/friends/co-workers that worked for Bull in Birmingham, so I could definitely relate to Thompson. I just felt like it was a poor sports doc because it really had nothing to do with the all white team. It was coincidence.

I think it would be damn near impossible to find a paper trail of who took part in a riot. They don't have sign in sheets.
I do think he did a good job showing the South, and Mississippi specifically, and its complicated history with the past. There is a fine line between honoring heritage and propping up institutional racism. But I thought it was cool that it was James Meredith telling the story about Gettysburg.
