Editorial Reviews

From Parents' Choice®

Both powerful, and gentle, this animated film explores intolerance. Helene Angel, attacked by a street gang, has her face painted white. Both her older brother and her classmates come to terms with the event in this landmark presentation. See it as a family, in a classroom, in a community group - just see it! A 1999 Parents' Choice® Gold Award Winner. (Yvonne Coleman, Parents' Choice®)

5.0 out of 5 stars Whitewash:Clarence Brandley Story, May 26, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Whitewash: Clarence Brandley Story [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Finally, somebody made a movie that showed the truth about the corruption in Montgomery County. I used to live there and I remember this case. This is 2004 and they still (even county officials) freely use the "N" word. These guys are as racist as it gets. This county's primary resource is crack amphetimine labs and they have a reputation for "unaccounted-for" bodies that still mysteriously surface from shallow graves occasionally. It was by the grace of God that Clarance Brandly was freed. Courtney Vance is awsome in this movie! You can watch Chuck Norris on "Texas Rangers" - that's Hollywood hype-nonsense. Whitewash's Texas Rangers - that's reality.

I was actually very excited about the movie. I am a freshman at conroe high now and i have me clarences sister her and my grandma work together. But what amazes me the most is that even tho this happened so long its still effecting the school after school practices have 2 be held in gyms under supervision and no student during school or after school is alound 2 walk the halls or go 2 the bathroom alone we have 2 go in pairs and hall moniters are issued in every hall. Even tho this happened so long ago you here the stories every day at school some issue it as jokes like watch out for the janiters haha and some still talk about it like it was yesterday anyway its a real good movie and the fact that it still effects the school today gives even a better reason to watch it.
