The aftermath of a notorious incident that occurred in the small Texas town of Three Rivers -- and sparked a nationwide civil rights movement by Latinos -- is the focus of this engrossing documentary. When Pvt. Felix Longoria's remains were sent home after he was killed in World War II, the town's lone funeral parlor refused to hold services for him because he wasn't white, a decision that led to a racial divide that still exists in Three Rivers.
