5.0 out of 5 stars thanks for finally putting this on dvd!, October 28, 2007

By	K. Lavelle (Des Moines, IA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have used an increasingly deteriorating videotape of the original broadcast on lifetime in my classroom for years, I'm glad that this film has finally gotten the recognition of a proper DVD release. Not only does this film dramatize an important and terrible event in the civil rights movement in the 1960s, it is a well acted and interesting film. This is a great teaching tool for college students because the 3 civil rights workers are the age of most traditional college students.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Movie!, October 15, 2007

By	Allegra C. Williams (Somewhere, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If the Civil Rights era, or just American history in general, fascinates you, then you'll love this movie. 10x better than Mississippi Burning, I recommend this movie.
These men died bravely for what they believed in, and this movie does them great justice. Great acting also. Made me cry.
