Vicellous Reon Shannon is going to be a young actor to watch. He was impressive in Norman Jewison's "The Hurricane" and here, he provides the centerpiece for a powerful chronicling of the civil rights movement. This film is an impressive re-telling of how the non-violent emphasis within that movement led to its eventual success. Carole King's "Song of Freedom" is a great anthem for the film, and the entire effort is understated to a degree that would benefit atrocious films like "Mississippi Burning." The father-son relationship between Shannon and Danny Glover is a great sub-plot which underscores the generational differences which always threaten to separate us and yet can ultimately bind us together. Great film all around.

This is a wonderfully told story. I had no idea that it would come off so clearly and compassionately. It is the story of real people and real events which can often be over dramatized or underplayed in Hollywood. This film goes right to the heart. The performances are strong and believable, very honest. The music, composed by Sweet Honey in the Rock and James Horner is truly evocative of those times and serves the movie and its emotions well. Be sure to see it! You will en

I agree. "Freedom Song" is a surprising, powerful, emotional, sometimes funny, always honest look at the civil rights movement. It focusses mostly on teenagers, and it's fascinating. Terrific acting. And a great score by Sweet Honey in the Rock and James Horner.

There was a lot of bigotry, in this movie. Everyone should have a right to vote. No matter what race or ethnic group, America was based on freedom. At the end, when they were singing in jail, I liked it, when the deputy or jailer told them, "If they didn't stop singing, he was going to take away their mattresses." They replied "No problem Brother." You can take my mattress away, because I'm going to let it shine.
