heart-warming film about the american civil rights movement of the 50s. whoopi goldberg puts in a moving performance as an overworked maid/mother, that boycotts the buses along with all the other black citizens of alabama. sissy spacek also puts in a moving performance as an opressed housewife, who helps her black housekeeper in the boycott lead by martin luther king. brilliant film that makes you appreciate society today, and how one forbidden friendship could hep change the fate of a nation. watch it if you catch it on sky movies - usually on during the day..
