This review is from: Proud (DVD)

Great story and storytelling about the African American service men in WWII. Finally someone has decided to show the true things they had to overcome and resistance along the way. Great movie, especially for teachers in the classroom.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Little Treasure, June 25, 2006

This review is from: Proud (DVD)

Outstanding little film! Ossie Davis is loveable as Lorenzo DeFau, and as narrator, draws us right into the story of the crew of the USS Mason. It is the true story of how the first all-African American crew overcame prejudice and adversity while risking their lives for this country during World War II. The film tells the story very well, and is interspersed with actual black and white footage of the original USS Mason crew. The cinematography is exceptional, especially the scenes shot in Derry, Ireland. This is Tommy Hilfiger's first motion picture effort from his THEntertainment production company. Note there are several cameos throughout the film, including Tommy and Ally Hilfiger, Nobel Peace winner John Hume, and the three main characters who are still living: Lorenzo DeFau, Gordon Buchanan, and James Graham. It is a tribute and a wonderful, uplifting family film. I think everyone should see it!

The record of the brave and dedicated African American service men and women during WWII has been a long time in coming. This film will hopefully spark an interest in their invaluable service to their country at a crucial time in our history. I thoroughly enjoyed the performances and story, especially the scenes in Ireland.
