Home of the Brave is a 2004 documentary directed by Paola di Florio that tells the story of Viola Liuzzo, a white mother of five from Michigan who left her family to join the civil rights struggle in Alabama and was murdered by Ku Klux Klan members in 1965 while assisting protesters. The film uses archival footage and interviews—especially with her children—to explore her courage, the controversial FBI response and smear campaign after her death, and the profound, lasting impact her sacrifice had on her family and the history of the civil rights movement.
