Adults will likely find this sentimental and overplayed, but it feels well suited for grade schoolers, delivering straightforward lessons about the history of American race relations and making them palatable to young viewers. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

L.C 06/23/2024 I was very impressed with the movie, the cast did a pretty good job. I really dug the narrator's portion... See more 02/10/2015 I love this film. I've seen it twice. It's relevant, funny, subtle in the storytelling and very effective. I was on the edge of my seat not knowing if this seven year old boy was going to survive. Very very good film.
