    Heart Warming and Thought Provoking

    Hiding in Plain Sight is a story that may not be very foreign to those reading this review. A tale (based on real experiences) of a family effected by the recent economic crises. Kelly O'Neil Jackson gives a riveting performance as Darius Blackmon...trying to make a way for his wife and two children. Its a story of true love, compassion and faith. This is a MUST SEE movie. You will leave the theater with a sense of gratitude but also a true need to do for those less fortunate. Beautifully directed by M. Legend Brown. He has proved to be a force to be reckoned with. Get out to see this film and request that it be screened in your city! --- MUST SEE/NEED TO SEE---

    Great Film for the Entire Family!

    "Hiding In Plain Sight" is a socially conscious, accurate, well acted, written and directed film by rising indie film director M. Legend Brown. It tells the true-to-life story of a working class family of four. The film recants the tribulations of the Blackmon family, a middle class, educated working family who fall on hard times and through the cracks of our American society. Without making a political statement or blaming anyone, it tells the real life drama currently playing out in our cities and communities to real-life families. It is shown via engaging and compelling characters in a narrative style format. Performances - Along with a great and charming turn by film and television icon, Irma P. Hall, a solid performance by lead actor Kelly O'Neil Jackson with an exceptional, break-out performance for newcomer Sharice Henry Chasi in the role of Josephine Blackmon. In total, Hiding In Plain Sight, is definitely a must watch!

    A eye opening film with a great message.

    Hiding In Plain Sight tackles a tough topic that needs to be heard in America . The aftermath of the recession still exist.

    M. Legend Brown creates a film that reminds us how close to home this can really be.

    This film shows a very honest side of reality and how sometimes your comfortable surroundings can take a turn for the worst. This families faith is tested beyond the boundaries, but in the end their strong will leads them through the storm. Definitely a film the whole family can watch and learn from.

    No matter what color you are we can still be Hiding In Plain Sight.

    Heartwrenching, yet encouraging.

    My husband and I attended the September 15th viewing of "Hiding in Plain Sight" and absolutely enjoyed it. It wasn't just about select families falling on hard times, rather it was about so much more. It fleshed out the stories of "real people" living day to day...that had...at some point and still do...the same dreams all of us on the other side of homelessness possess. We felt for these characters, emotionally and spiritually. It shed a serious light and gave pause for an even more serious dialogue for how close we ALL are to homelessness and what each of us can do...from our own vantage points to help remedy this ever-growing epidemic. Do yourself a Huge Favor and Go See and Support this Worthwhile Film!!!

    Poor acting hurt this story.

    The message was heartfelt, but the acting was awful- forced and stiff.
