In 1923, at the height of the Ku Klux Klan's power in America, a 27-year old district attorney named Dan Moody sought to do that which had never been done - convict the KKK for its violent crimes and send its members to prison.

When he refused to leave town, they beat him to within inches of his life and left him for dead.
