It is about the few remaining survivors and their fight for justice and compensation; their demand for the dignity and recognition of those who died that day and who have been denied a decent burial for 87 years; the pursuit of the justice that they have been denied in the Courts and now in the Congress of the United States. It captures their journey for justice as these 3 surviving victims (90, 92 and 104 years old) travel the country telling their stories and being embraced by the real America everywhere they go. They are lovable, loved and determined to share their unique stories, that were hidden for 80 years by a conspiracy of silence. Despite the efforts of the guilty and shamed who would prefer to delay, deny and hope they die, these warriors for right refuse to be silenced - even after the Creator calls them home.
