In the 1990s, Lorenzo DuFau (Ossie Davis) tells the story of the USS Mason, the historic World War II battleship with an entirely segregated black crew. Aware of their deadly mission, the sailors aboard the USS Mason engage in fierce combat and fight to defend their country, despite the overwhelming racism back home in America. But even without the support of their nation, the crew members dedicate themselves to completing their mission and returning home alive.

The history of the Mason is the real star of Proud. If you go expecting only that, then you won't be disappointed. And at times you may find yourself moved.

Proud may not have the best acting, biggest budget, or best written dialogue you will see in a movie, but it does tell an important story.

Rated: 2.5/4

Watched 15 seconds of it and lost 15 seconds of my valuable short life, plus another 10 seconds writing this review about it.

(** 1/2): [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon13.gif[/img] Interesting story but the direction and acting is just too amateurish (Davis is great, though). I also wish the filmmakers centered more on the people and events themselves instead of the racism issues. A near-miss for me.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

It does mean well, this in an old fashioned flag raiser that lacks good direction and the acting could be better. It's a good story, just not given a very convincing treatment.
