This movie was sensational to say the least. Road To Galveston is the story of a woman who loses her husband and is driven to make a living for herself. The career that she chooses is one in which she provides care for Alzheimers patients. The touching thing about this movie is that it is extremely informative. It depicts three separate stages of this dreadful disease: the beginning, intermediate, and advanced stages. It also provides a clear understanding of the challenges that family members must endure as they watch their loved-one yeild to this disease. I recommend this movie to anyone who is faced with the unfortunate challenge of providing care to someone who has been diagnosed with Alzheimers. It will prepare you for the journey that, if understood, does not have to be so dreadful. In this movie, Cicely teaches us how to love those less fortunate than us through their circumstances. The sound track is really nice as well. It will make you laugh and cry!

Never before have I seen such heartfelt performances on television. This movie moved me to the point of tears and Cicely Tyson is a great actress in command of her craft. I would recommend this film to anyone who needs to know what good television writing is.

This is an exceptional movie about a woman who is faced with living on her own after her husband dies. Tyson portrays a very believable southern woman who takes in alzheimer patients to support herself. Worth renting; buying it, hopefully the price will come down!

Why in the world this video is not touted, recommended, urged, made known, I do not understand.

It is a delightful story of tragedy, love, hope - every element of life - what makes life worth living.

With the disease of Alzheimers growing exponentially, we need to see/hear this story!

Being widowed, being disappointed, relationships gone awry; new life possible - what more could you want?

Love it, love it, love it!!!

Demand this be put on dvd!

Cicely Tyson is a wonder and she is at her best in "Road to Galveston" Great acting by others as well! Piper Laurie, Tess Harper ...
