    Do not miss it.

    I was lucky enough to attend one screening of this truly amazing documentary. As an immigrant I only knew about the well-known facts and history of the civil rights movement, and I'm sad to say that I didn't know anything about Dorothy Cotton. Thanks to this great work I now feel more educated than ever, just as much as everyone else should be on this crucial matter.

    This documentary should be available to anyone to watch. It should be played in schools. It should be played in community centers. It should be played to anyone who holds democracy and freedom in their hearts.

    The writing is amazing, the archives are meticulously chosen, the illustration is very well done and brings life to the whole entire documentary.
