Wiki.
You Belong to Me: Sex, Race and Murder in the South is a 2014 American documentary film produced by Hilary Saltzman, Kitty Potapow, and Jude Hagin and directed by John Cork. The film works to uncover the hidden truths of the Ruby McCollum case of 1952. McCollum, the richest African American woman in Suwannee County, Florida, shot White physician and politician Clifford Leroy Adams four times with her revolver.
Hagin discovered this story when meeting with the late Dr. James Haskins, award-winning author and English professor at The University of Florida. Haskins provided Hagin with a copy of the William Bradford Huie book Ruby McCollum: Woman in the Suwannee Jail, saying "this story needs to be told." Upon reading Huie's book, Hagin disagreed with the assertion that McCollum had been in a consensual, sexual relationship with Adams and that the Adams shooting was over a money dispute. "I could not get that into my head," she said. "I could not wrap my head around the notion that an African-American woman in 1952 would willingly have a relationship with a town's sainted physician."Hagin's pursuit of the truth led to an exploration of "paramour rights", the assumption that White men had the right to use Black women for sex, in the Jim Crow South. While there had been previous books and documentaries on Ruby McCollum, You Belong to Me: Sex, Race and Murder in the South was the first known project to get witness accounts, including interviews with McCollum's friends and family and the last surviving juror from the trial. "I wanted to get family members on both sides to tell their side of the story," Hagin said.The film premiered at the 2014 LA Femme International Film Festival on October 17, 2014, and was released for VOD on February 1, 2015, in time for Black History Month.
