This type of DVD is good for...
Use this movie to start discussions, either in a classroom setting, or at home.
I especially liked...
We learn of community coherence as it grows alongside community decay. We learn about how personal relationships can help overcome adverse conditions in life. We also learn that not all southern whites were bent on keeping the blacks down. We also see that not all blacks were supportive of their own.
This DVD made me feel...
See this movie to see the shame of some people, and the glory of others in how they treated black people. See this movie to learn about discrimination as one young boy learned about it as he grew from childhood to manhood.
The cast of this DVD...
Acting in this movie was adequate, but the overpowering message negates any minor faults in the portrayal of some diverse and powerful characters.
I recommend this DVD because...
This movie is a must see for the entire family, and a great movie for family discussion after watching it. Ignore the flaws and see the lessons in this one.
