Editorial Reviews

The original six-hour film series Eyes On The Prize was broadcast on public television in 1987 to unprecedented critical acclaim. This special two-hour school edition is made possible through the generous support of Pepsi. The American civil rights struggle has been called the second American Revolution. The Amazing drama of the civil rights movement comes to life in this sweeping story of people who changed America. It is a film of unforgettable images of extraordinary courage. In their own words, the participants in the struggle reveal what it took to stand up and be counted in the fight for equal rights. From a murder of a 14-year old boy in Money, Mississippi in 1955 to the dramatic gathering of 25,000 marchers in Selma, Alabama, in 1965, Eyes On The Prize affirms the ability of ordinary people to challenge America to live up to its promise of Liberty, and justice for all.

If you're going to see any one video of American history, this is it. It's perfect for high-school students, perfect for adults. Enlightening, heart-warming, touching, real, and educational. For some of my students, it has changed their lives forever.
