A film that will bring out your feelings. Whatever they may be. Seeing the senseless brutality and savage treatment of men or women because they were born with a different color skin than you. The acting is superb and will make you feel their anguish and pain. It's pitiful to see and angered me greatly throughout this film. The stage sets and clothing were believable. You had a feeling of entering this time in history which helped the film incredibly. Seeing him hanging from a noose on a tree, put there for punishment..... Seeing other young men hung for any excuse, seeing the women slapped and taken advantage of...I wanted to jump through the screen and try to help these people. I'd recommend this film for a more mature audience but I'd definitely recommend you see it.
