Blood Done Sign My Name is a 2010 American drama film directed and written by Jeb Stuart.

Plot

A drama based on the true story in which a black Vietnam-era veteran is beaten by three white men, and shot dead by one of them, and how an all-white jury found him not guilty. The plot focuses on two characters: a local high-school teacher, recently returned from college, who organizes the black community to march to the state capital to protest the unjust verdict; and a white minister, who loses much of his congregation because of his racially liberal views during the civil rights era.
