OUT OF FOCUS
Before reading the article on “Ghosts of Mississippi,” I had been looking forward to seeing the film about Medgar Evers’ murder and his family’s 30-year struggle for justice (“Waking the Ghosts,” by Sean Mitchell, Dec. 15).
However, after learning that the film is not centered on Evers or his widow, Myrlie, but on assistant district attorney Bobby DeLaughter, I have changed my mind. Sorry, but focusing this film on DeLaughter’s story is akin to having Robert Shapiro’s story be the cynosure of a movie about the O.J. Simpson trial.
