    A poignant and historic movie which left the audience applausing at the end. It is also a commemoration of the accomplishments of extraordinary people - whether presidents or students - who through their bravery changed the course of history. An amazing cast of true artists. Well done.

    This movie needed a kick-ass soundtrack (Jay-Z, Justin Bieber, etc.) to put it over the top.

    If you didn't like this movie you weren't listening the most compelling movie on the racial tensions in the USA bar none. Forest for best actor is no contest the rest of the cast was amazing. Bravo to all involved.

    Amazing how they captured the struggles of the times. An awful reminder of a turbulent part of US history, but one that shouldn't be forgotten. Will be a real eye opener for anyone born after 1970.

    Very well done. Excellent reminder of how easy it is to recognize other countries' crimes while whitewashing (pun intended) those of your own. Would like to see Canada do a similar history refresher on some of her atrocities.
