Contact the KKK and some protesters and let them tell each side of the story. Try to avoid showing your own opinion and let the viewers create their own. You can show clips of your footage during the interview with these persons.

I live twenty minutes from Howell...

Anyway, I like Levertuning's idea. Or, if you want to avoid interviewing so many people like that, just "tell" the story and represent it with the film you have.

even though this is technically how it SHOULD be done, it is rarely the case. sensationalism is evident in most documentaries and the maker usually starts off with an agenda to acheive a desired outcome that offers the most entertainment to the viewer.
