Freemasons were not mentioned that I recall

They actually mentioned B'nai B'rith briefly in passing a few times without context other than once saying it was "a charity or something" and that Leo Frank was a member. The movie makes it out that Leo was innocent and hanged by a mob, while the black guy was guilty and got off.

Better than average for a 1988 production, but certainly nothing worth watching unless you need to see old propaganda in a predictable drama. I was busy doing other stuff but if I had those 2 hours over (played at 2x speed) I would have watched/listened to something else. I only watched it due to the Tim Kelly / Myth 20t Cent interview ( /s/Jews/comments/e3w/nick_mason_on_leo_frank_and_the_murder_of_mary/ ), and I'm always amazed how Hollywood twists history.

My biggest takeaway was the "powerful" guys who came down from New York, always clumped together, claiming to be weak and need to defend him, etc. This obvious contradiction was there for all to see, for the characters in the story and the viewers at home, yet no one comments on it like we're programmed to ignore it. Weird.
