Spike Lee’s Four Little Girls is the only documentary film that orbits the bombing of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama. Additionally, the film provides the only archive of testimonies from the parents and relatives of the bombings victims. Premiering thirty-four years after the bombing, the film chronicles the afterlives of each family and the church to which these families called home. This event draws on the Womanist tenant of truth-telling, that seeks to honor and take seriously the epistemologies of Black people and especially the mothers of the slain.
