The 24th

This was an excellent movie. It did a good job of showing the struggles African Americans endured.

I enjoyed this movie and time flew past quickly whilst I watched it. The characters were built up well and I felt a great empathy for some of the subjects. The film highlights some of the worst traits in mankind, racial hatred and inequality.

Excellent acting and good dialogue help this movie along. Well worth watching although very disturbing to see the grim side of our species.

Some more of the ugly truth of white American history and nothing much has changed as far as policing. This was a great portrayal of the actual events that took place during the Houston riot on Aug. 23, 1917.

I've lived here my entire life, and I've never heard of this. This story timely and relevant to the citizens of Houston who care about black history and uncovering the many incidents of racial injustice in Houston. For those that agree with all facets of black history being highlighted or expounded upon, this is jewel of a movie.

The low ratings are not based on the quality, story or worth of the movie as I perceive. This movie is based on real events that go to the heart of what America was and in many places still is. To see this side of America hurts those that refuse to acknowledge America the Beautiful - ugly evil warts and all. It is well presented, well acted, well told. It is worth seeing, if not for the quality of the film, then for the truth of the film. And, it is worth seeing with the whole family. Note that this is not a family movie, but rather a movie that reflects us. Truth hurts, but truth shall set you free.
