Our take

This essential debut film of trailblazing filmmaker Madeline Anderson is a vital snapshot of the civil rights movement. Capturing the bubbling energy of the late 50s by tracking various forms of activism, it is a great historical record and one of the pioneering political films of Direct Cinema.
