      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.
