Featured review
An important historical story
It has a significant story to tell of historical importance. It is a stirring performance by Danielle Deadwyler.
This film was not nominated for best picture for the Academy Awards. It is a meaningful subject area that has current relevance for today's world. Are race prejudice and problems anathema to the Academy? Is history off-limits, like in the state of Florida?
The hate and violence in this film are still prevalent today. It is important that we not forget what happened in the past, as it continues to torment us in our own society. We must not forget the struggles and events of the past that helped to overcome obstacles that withheld human rights to members of the community.
