The 事例／患者 is the 焦点（を合わせる） of a new 文書の 肩書を与えるd 'You Belong To Me,' which 収集するs a １０年間 of 研究 and interviews with family members, 再開するing old 負傷させるs in this small Southern town nestled まっただ中に farm country.

An all-white, all-male 陪審／陪審員団 宣告，判決d McCollum (pictured walking to 法廷，裁判所 in 1952) to death for her 罪，犯罪. However she 避けるd the 死刑 after a 裁判官 支配するd that she was insane

The sordid tale of sex, race and 暴力／激しさ has 奮起させるd others to tell McCollum's story, with different 結論s about her 動機づけs.

William Bradford Huie's 調書をとる／予約する 'The 罪，犯罪 of Ru by McCollum' 奮起させるd the new 文書の. In his telling, McCollum's 関係 with Adams was consensual, and she became a 麻薬 （麻薬）常用者 and killed him after losing her mind.?

Alonzo Philmore, left, Harry Campbell, 中心, and Suwannee 郡 NAACP 大統領，／社長 Leslie White stand in 前線 of their church in Live Oak, Florida. Philmore believes there is still racial 摩擦 between 'old folks' living in the community that was once たびたび（訪れる）d by Klu Klux Klann marches and lynchings?

Huie's 結論 didn't seem 権利 to the 文書の's 生産者 Jude Hagin, a Florida film commissioner who discovered Huie's 調書をとる／予約する 14 years ago.

Family members told Hagin and the film's 研究員s that McCollum was 井戸／弁護士席-educated and 繁栄する and that the family believed the doctor had used 麻薬s to 支配（する）／統制する her.

'I could not 包む my 長，率いる around the story, that a woman of Ruby McCollum's stature ... would see anything that could be a good 未来 for her to have a 性の 関係 with a white doctor,' Hagin said.

'I 手配中の，お尋ね者 to get family members on both 味方するs to tell their 味方する of the story,' Hagin said.

裁判，公判 transcripts from 1952 show that Ruby told 賠審員s that she felt 圧力 to do what Adams told her to do, though the 陪審／陪審員団 was told to 無視（する） much of her 証言 after the 裁判官 許すd dozens of 反対s from 検察官，検事s.

'I was just so worried, I had to either 産する／生じる or maybe die, I suppose that was what would happen,' Ruby McCollum 証言するd, によれば 裁判，公判 transcripts.

The film's 研究員s also 設立する that Adams had a dark 味方する that 賠審員s never saw. In Live Oak, he was a 尊敬（する）・点d doctor who helped the poor ― but 記録，記録的な／記録するs show he (1)偽造する／(2)徐々に進むd letters of 推薦s to get into 医療の school.?

Also, McCollum 証言するd that Adams had a friend 配達する the baby they had together and that she never received a birth 証明書. He needed to hide the baby because it was around the time he was running for 明言する／公表する 上院.

Suwannee 郡 法廷，裁判所 clerk and 地元の historian Eric Musgrove stands in 前線 of the 郡 courthouse in Live Oak, Florida. The story behind Rugby McCollum has continued to 動かす racial 緊張s in the community for more than 60 years?

Sam McCollum Jr., one o f McCollum's children, told the filmmakers that a white doctor in the Jim Crow-時代 South was akin to a 'God in the community.'

In the 黒人／ボイコット community, the McCollum 事例／患者 was spoken of only in whispers, said Tameka Hobbs, a history professor at Florida 記念の University who grew up in Live Oak.

'With Ruby there was so much shame in the 黒人／ボイコット community because of the 性の 連絡事務, they really did not want to talk about it,' Hobbs said.

'You Belong to Me' doesn't give テレビ視聴者s a 最終的な 結論, but it sheds new light on the 事例／患者 and has 誘発するd new discussions about race. Musgrove, the 地元の historian, is receiving more requests for 贈呈s on the 事例／患者. Hagin hopes the 文書の helps 奮起させる 基金ing for a feature film, which actor James Brolin has 調印するd on to direct, should they get the money.

Live Oak today is a much different town than the one where Adams was 殺害された, but the ornate 1904 courthouse where the McCollum 裁判，公判 took place is still the largest building around.

And 問題／発行するs of race still make headlines. The Southern Poverty 法律 中心 in 2012 とじ込み／提出するd a 連邦の civil 権利s （民事の）告訴 after a 熟考する／考慮する 設立する 黒人／ボイコット children in Suwannee 郡 and four other Florida school 地区s were punished or 逮捕（する）d at a higher 率 than other students.

'Younger kids here do have better 関係s with whites today,' said Alonzo Philmore, former 大統領，／社長 of the NAACP' s 地元の 一時期／支部.

'But with older folks there's still a 広大な／多数の／重要な divide.'?
