The Left Hand Singing

Barbara Lebow’s The Left Hand Singing is set amidst the idealism and violence of Freedom Summer in 1964 Mississippi, in which three college students vanish, seemingly without a trace. Their desperate families are brought together in the days after, and find themselves inextricably linked — the heirs of their lost children’s dreams. Throughout three decades, complex truths in the lives of the parents are exposed and tested against the fire of the country’s social and political turbulence. Carolyn Levy directs.
