The Five Priests

Director Chris Charles Scott (Class Action Park) brings a grim chapter of Shreveport history to life in The Five Priests, a full-length documentary that focuses on five Catholic priests who gave their lives in the 1873 Yellow Fever Epidemic. The documentary is based on the book Shreveport Martyrs of 1873: The Surest Path to Heaven written by LSUS history professor Dr. Cheryl White, Father Peter Mangum and W. Ryan Smith.
