Freedom Bound tells the story of the SNCC voter registration campaign in Mississippi in 1963. Through interviews with poor black farmers who risked everything to register to vote, the film conveys the courage, determination and sacrifice which the common people of the South used to help end racial segregation. Containing much of the same interviews as We'll Never Turn Back, this film features rare footage of SNCC volunteers telling their stories of crossing the color line in rural Mississippi.
