Owen (Vicellous Reon Shannon) is a young man living in Mississippi at the dawn of the civil rights movement. Surrounded by racism, Owen looks for inspiration in dealing with oppression, while his father, Will (Danny Glover), prefers to keep his head down after his bad luck with protests in the past.

Audience Member For a TV-Made movie, it is well made, and well-acted. A very interesting and surprisingly compelling movie. It is definitely worth your time. 76/100 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member maybe a 3.5...Its about the civil rights movement in the 60's in Mississippi. Danny Glover stars in it, this movie had potential but never really took off. Its based on eye witnessed true events but still could have been a great movie with maybe better directing. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member se battre pour être libre Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member i seen this movies over a 100 times and more it teaches an says alot Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
