      Audience Member Interesting look at a vile person that presented himself as a morale leader of America but as the film progresses his true self shows. People forget this part of history or at least don't like to examine it. The kkk had a lot of political influence in America and it was only 'steves' greed that brought his downfall from grand Dragon of the Klan Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Made for tv movie.Nothing groundbreaking but, well worth watching for the performance of John Heard. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member This was a great TV movie/Mini Series. I would love to see it again, i remember it being a firm favourite of me and my sisters. Its very sad, maybe a bit schmaltzy in places but fantastic all the same. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member A very well done, and as far as I know historically accurate, tv movie about the death of perhaps the oldest terrorist organization that this United States has ever seen. "History suggests the Klan will not disappear. They have died many deaths only to be reborn..."
