Hiding in Plain Sight

Hiding in Plain Sight touched my Heart Soul and Spirit. Words, I pulled from this incredible story...God, Family, Love, Unity, Faith, Believe Trust and triumph (Words to Live By)- Let Go and Let God!!!! (Powerful Life Changing Words) This movie makes you stop and Think, as well as Appreciate what you have in your life at the present time, because at any given second, it all could change. In today's economy, Who can't relate to this story? Education and a man's Love and Care to make a Difference. We need more of this in the world today. There was struggle in each part of the movie, even with the family that seemed to have it all. BUT when you also have Trust, Understanding and Compassion, it changes things. Sometimes, I wish people could see through the eyes of those living in despair. Although this story had a happy ending, not every story will, but that doesn't mean....Give up. "Let Go and Let God!!! Oh one more Word...."BOOTS", who knew hearing the word Boots would be a tear-jerker! I give this movie 5***** You my dear, you poured every emotion you had into it, your energy was so strong, down to your facial expressions of pain. Kudos to Sharice and the rest of the cast, you all were simply... AMAZING AMAZING!!! AMAZING!!!

To see the real struggle of the Blackmon family on the screen was amazing. So many times in life when we are obedient to God, we find ourselves facing challenges. It makes us question God and our path. The Blackmon family held on to their faith and each other. The bond between this husband and wife was to be modeled. The circumstances didn't tear them apart, it made them stronger. M. Legend Brown pulled out of these characters emotions that had a lasting effect on me for weeks. This movie portrayed the inner struggle of Christians in a way that was familiar to many of us. This is the story before the glory yet it's hardly ever shown. Kudos to the cast and crew for putting together such an awesome movie!!

The message was heartfelt, but the acting was awful- forced and stiff.

"Hiding In Plain Sight" is a socially conscious, accurate, well acted, written and directed film by rising indie film director M. Legend Brown. It tells the true-to-life story of a working class family of four. The film recants the tribulations of the Blackmon family, a middle class, educated working family who fall on hard times and through the cracks of our American society. Without making a political statement or blaming anyone, it tells the real life drama currently playing out in our cities and communities to real-life families. It is shown via engaging and compelling characters in a narrative style format. Performances - Along with a great and charming turn by film and television icon, Irma P. Hall, a solid performance by lead actor Kelly O'Neil Jackson with an exceptional, break-out performance for newcomer Sharice Henry Chasi in the role of Josephine Blackmon. In total, Hiding In Plain Sight, is definitely a must watch!

My husband and I attended the September 15th viewing of "Hiding in Plain Sight" and absolutely enjoyed it. It wasn't just about select families falling on hard times, rather it was about so much more. It fleshed out the stories of "real people" living day to day...that had...at some point and still do...the same dreams all of us on the other side of homelessness possess. We felt for these characters, emotionally and spiritually. It shed a serious light and gave pause for an even more serious dialogue for how close we ALL are to homelessness and what each of us can do...from our own vantage points to help remedy this ever-growing epidemic. Do yourself a Huge Favor and Go See and Support this Worthwhile Film!!!
