A perceptive and powerful drama about the life and changing times in 1950s segregated Montgomery, Alabama. When her black maid (Whoopi Goldberg) takes a stand in Martin Luther King Jr.’s bus boycott, an affluent white woman (Sissy Spacek) does what she can to help despite the disapproval of her husband.

"A powerful and compelling film that faithfully captures the spirit of a watershed event in U.S. history."

- Coretta Scott King

Intelligent and realistic interpretation of a segregated America during the 1950s.
