Excellent true story.
I don't know what happened to my old posts - maybe they cleaned house but this movie is great. The acting is phenomenal and it really gives a great view of the various forces in history at the time.
However, the greatest thing about this film was Jack Lemon's performance of the Governor of Georgia - a man who risks his career and very life to learn what truly happened to a young southern girl murdered in a pencil factory in Atlanta.
This movie is very uplifting when you consider what it all says about people standing up for what is right.
A must see for anyone!
When I was a kid television was called BOOKS!
