  • ""Danny Glover produced and stars in this powerful made-for-cable civil-rights drama. In 1951 Mississippi, bigots force Will Walker (Glover) to publicly spank his young son, Owen, for wandering into a whites-only diner. A decade later, a teenage Owen is enraged by the indignity of segregation and 'hungry for courage from anybody, anywhere.' He gets it when nonviolent activists come to his home town to start a black voter-registration drive. But to join them, Owen must risk the wrath of his fearful father--and the Ku Klux Klan"--TV guide, February 27, 2000."
  • "Small-town Mississippians risk their lives to bring change at the grassroots level. "Based on first-hand accounts of veteran activists who stood on the frontlines [of the civil rights movement]"--Container."
