    Very moving

    This is supposed to be a historical account, and I believe it to be just that..... so the story itself doesn't get points - I'm just glad that the story is getting out. As a viewer, I was truly moved to anger, to passion, to compassion, and finally to tears of victory over an evil that should be brought out to the light. I give the movie a score of 9 out of ten.... but I can't honestly say what I would do to improve it. The performances of every one were excellent. The children weren't cute moppets, nor were they incredibly heroic. I could relate to the feeling of 'don't rock the boat' that was the world of Marcus, and also the "Never again" battle cries once he realized that, though he is one person, every one of us can make a difference. It was entertaining and inspiring

    Loved It

    This is a great movie about a little-known story from the Civil Rights era. If you liked Mississippi Burning, you'll like this.

    Ten thumbs up

    Terrific movie! Wasn't expecting this to be so inspirational but it was and that much more!

    Good Film about a little known group

    The only nitpick I have with this film is that it is obviously NOT filmed in Bogalusa, LA. It also does not show the poverty of African Americans who lived and worked there - one gets the impression the blacks there were leading perfectly cozy middle class lives, save for racial segregation and oppression. These folks did not live in 3 bedroom nicely decorated, cozy homes. They live in what amounts to shanties and the poverty there is third world. Bogalusa is not some idyllic looking, charming small town. It is a very depressing, gloomy place, centered around a paper mill which smells horrible (and you can smell it all over town). By not showing this it disconnects racial oppression from how bad the economic oppression was (and still is), and it's always there.

    Other than that, the Deacons rock, and predated the Panthers by several years.
    OldeSkool

    Before the Panthers, there were the Deacons.

    This excellent made-for-cable movies tells the story of a group of blacks in a small mill town who form a defense group to protect themselves from the brutality of the Klan during the dawn of The 1964 Civil Rights Act. The fact-based story centers around the main character played by Forest Whitaker (who gives his best performance in years) who was arrested and beaten by racist cop for protecting his daughter from being beat during a peace demonstration that turned ugly. After that you see his character transform from a "good nigger" who thought he knew his place to a man who realized that his dignity and family were more important than "yes sah-in'" and "no sah-in'" to the racist white townfolks. There's also good turns from Ossie Davis (I don't think this man has ever given a bad performance) and Jonathan Silverman (quite surprising), but the film clearly belongs to Whitaker. A place in American history that has gotten forgotten and buried over the years. A must-see for history buffs.

      [dropping two civil right workers off at the county line]

      Lawson: Now the only reason you boys ain't hurtin' is because you got the same skin color as God. But this is a one-time pass. Remember what happened to those northern boys in Mississippi.

      [Sheriff smacks Deane across the mouth]

      Lawson: Y'all know which way to go.

      [Sheriff drives away then Deane walks back]

      Michael Deane: Let's go.

      Charles Hillibrand: What are you kidding me?

      Michael Deane: No, I'm not kidding.

      Charles Hillibrand: They're not fooling around, Michael. They *will* kill us. Why are you willing to die for this? Do you hear me?

      Michael Deane: Why, Charlie? Because our skin, is *not* the same color as God's.
