5.0 out of 5 stars The Sword That Heals, October 19, 2000

By	"princesslex" (Brooklyn, New York USA) - See all my reviews

This film gives a vividly accurate account of the trials and tribulations of the sit-in protestors and the freedom riders. Not only does this movie give actual footage of these sometimes horrifying events, but follows some of the protestors to present day when they can reflect upon the part they played in history. This movie is extremely interesting because not only does it cover the well known speeches of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., such as the "I Have A Dream" speech, but also rarely seen interviews, for example, from "Meet The Press". I recommend this film to anyone who wants an accurate and realistic account of desegragation in the south. If you find this film interesting I also reccommend "Why We Can't Wait" by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., "The Children" by David Halberstam, and the movie, "The Road to Freedom: The Vernon Johns Story".
