10/27/2012 Times change but the pace is painfully slow in Charlestown, Mississippi as the high school's first racially integrated prom shows. Documentary would have been better with more commentary from the parents, who are the problem here, not the students. See more 08/26/2012 This could have been way better. I mean, I love what they were trying to do and I think it's ridiculous that segregated proms still exist, but the movie lacked any real depth. It was just about having an integrated prom in the school. No reflection on the fact that we're all a part of one world and we all live under the same sun.

Freeman had offered to pay for an integrated prom if the school would end the tradition of separate proms for whites and blacks.In 2008, the school finally accepted the actorâ(TM)s offer. The film showcases the human reactions of the students as they look forward to this unique event. Many opponents - who believe that their views are entirely justified - also speak on camera. Although there are minor bumps in the road, the event goes off without a hitch and the students grow closer as a result. The two groups shared many more traits than they gave each other credit for.
