When Medger Evers is shot, the horror the actors convey is palpable. The entire cast is terrific. Sissy Spacek outdoes herself as Mrs Walters!

You really MUST listen to the score at the end, by Mary Blige. “THE LIVING PROOF” is the name of the song. Powerful in and of itself. Tops this movie off like it should. ❤️

If you liked this movie you really should check out the movie "Hidden Figures". Another amazing depiction of how screwed up our world can be. It really is an amazing movie. Also, it is based on a true story.

This was such an important and powerful movie. It was good to watch it with you.
Some other movies that I would recommend that pull on the heartstrings are:
- Gifted (2017)
- Blue Bayou (2021)

I’ve suggested FGT quite a few times. Even teased her with Kathy Bates epic performance. Still waiting for that reaction. 🤷

This was such a powerful, moving film. I second the earlier recommendation to see the film, Hidden Figures, another inspiring story about the crucial role African American women played in America’s efforts to beat the Russians in going to the moon. Another great film about how African American women completely influenced the evolution of rock and roll music as the background singers in the 60’s and 70’s.

Next movie in this genre I recommend Fried Green Tomatoes. Great story, strong women and great actors. Just like The Help.
