5.0 out of 5 starsImpact on me
By hal ball on July 11, 2013
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I am a 76 year old male and for rhe first time in my life I can now understand what life must of been like for my parents in Alabama.
My father was German and Native American and my mother Native American and African American. I was very touched by the story and it was like watching the history of my family. I believe there are many familes that can relate to THE LOVING STORY which is an American tragedy and awe inspiring heroes that lived during this time of history.
A well told story of two people in love that stood for their equality to love each other and the right to marry.Sounds like today's fight to marry the person you love.

5.0 out of 5 starsVery Enlightening
By Gadget Queen on April 2, 2013
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
The first time I had heard about Mr. & Mrs. Loving was back in 1969. There are many mixed raced couples in this country (all over the world) and it is no surprise to me how racist the attitudes of some American's still exist. Now that I have a copy of it dvd I will be happy to share it with friends who have not heard about The Lovings and their struggle for equality and the right to love and marry the man/woman of their choice and to raise their family. There are so many good things about being an American even if it means you have to look the adverse ugliness about it's past in the face. There are many things that have not changed about our country and it's culture, we just have to be a little more diligent about understanding why racism is so demeaning, degrading, and unpleasant. It may not your choice but don't begrudge others and make it a crime to love someone who isn't like you or share your feelings, views, or opinions. Life is too short for harboring ill feelings, thoughts, and opinions. In January 2012 when HBO aired The Loving Story I was so happy that someone finally decided it was time to put their story this piece of history out in the open for all to see. Enjoy the documentary, it will touch your heart--I promise you.

4.0 out of 5 starsAn Anecdotal Account Of A Landmark Supreme Court Ruling Brought About By Two Unlikely Heroes
By K. Harris HALL OF FAMETOP 100 REVIEWER on May 24, 2013
Format: DVD
"The Loving Story" is a remarkable chronicle of history that tells an incredibly important story. For subject matter alone, I highly recommend this earnest endeavor by filmmaker Nancy Buirski. The documentary tells the tale of Richard and Mildred Loving, an interracial couple who became reluctant heroes in the Civil Rights movement. Living in Virginia, the couple was persecuted, prosecuted and exiled by state officials who were staunch supporters of an anti-miscegenation campaign. The couple didn't realize they were violating any laws, they were simply in love and wanted to reside in the place that they considered home. Their dogged determination to fight to stay in Virginia had long-standing repercussions across the nation. Their case made it to the Supreme Court in 1967, and Loving v. Virginia declared that anti-miscegenation legislation was not enforceable under the fourteenth amendment. It was a landmark case, made all the more inspiring by the fact that Richard and Mildred were just ordinary folks.

The movie is composed almost entirely of archival footage. There are plenty of black and white home movies, interviews from back in the day, and news coverage as events unfolded. This footage is intercut with more modern recollections. But for the most part, the story is grounded in the past. When showcasing trial information and other relevant footage from the event, "The Loving Story" feels like an incredible historical document. I certainly felt as if I was privy to the thought processes of the trial lawyers who advanced the case. It is very effective at showcasing the legal perspectives that took the case to the Supreme Court.

For such a passionate topic, however, "The Loving Story" can sometimes be a bit dry as a film.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsSeems strange in our times, but--
By S. Bloom Almeida on April 22, 2014
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
I was a little girl when this story unfolded, but I do remember how hard it was back then to just live where you want and love whomever you wished...I am white but my father married my stepmother (black) in the mid-sixties. We were in California, where it wasn't illegal, per se, but there was a kind of de facto segregation which made life very difficult...people cannot even imagine now how bad it really was.
When I bought a house in 2001 there was something on the deed which stated that only whites could own the home--or even sleep there overnight.
There are also parallels with the gay marriage struggle going on right now. In 50 years (or less) people will be shaking their heads-

4.0 out of 5 starsTouching story
By Magda S. on August 27, 2013
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
Maybe this wasn't the world's most well done documentary, but it's a touching story about how interracial marriage was legalized in all 50 states. Honest and poignant, I grew to like and admire the everyday people behind this great love story. Highly recommended!

This is truly a beautiful love story. It broke my heart but gave me renewed hope.... what this couple went through and finally triumphed, in such an ugly time, was nothing short of miraculous. This true story will make you cry and celebrate, all at the same time!

5.0 out of 5 starsA true love story...
By Private on August 24, 2013
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I had seen and heard bit's and pieces of the Loving's story but this documentary brought their story to life. The DVD contained more information about their legal battle but I would have liked more details about the family in later years.
