Tim Reid's wonderful film about life in the black neighborhood of Glen Allan, Mississippi, from the mid-'40s to the dawn of the civil rights movement, is thick with terrific, inspired actors and possessed of a mature, limpid visual style. The story is told from the point of view of a young boy raised by his stalwart grandfather and his kind aunt. But the collective tale of a community coming to terms with the risks it must take to fight racism and achieve political rights is equally important and compelling. Beautifully written (based on the autobiographical novel by Clifton Taubert), Reid's vision is rich in scenes of ritual and community that have rarely, if ever, been revealed on film. This is more than just a good movie; it's a watershed event in this nation's cultural history. --Tom Keogh

	Customer Reviews: Average Rating: Rating : - A Flash of Color From the Past This movie was very well done. From the casting of the primary actor (a handsome young boy who is groomed at his wise old grandfather's knee) to his family-loyal aunt (the already accomplished actress Phylicia Rashad), this movie invites you into a world that any modern black American would be desperate to escape. The movie starts in the harsh, back-breaking times of old (post-slavery, sweat and dust-coated, and mentally as well as physically oppressive). As one of a million people who watched Alex Haley's Roots as a child, I felt that same frustration, anger, and heartache as I watched a hate-filled Klansman grimace down at our young black storyteller who, in his world of pure childhood innocence, had mistook the Klan demonstration as a parade. A must-see as a 'pushed to the back of the closet' reminder of the past as well as a marker of where we are now and where we must go. It also reminded me of the reason why older persons (of all races) should stop and take the time to guide the children of today in life lessons that are not always displayed in books or classrooms. Again, a vivid must see, even if you have to pause it occasionally to compose yourself. + See Full Customer Review
