Le film est magnifique.

Pas une énorme place donnée à la lutte menée elle-même par les afro américains contre la ségrégation mais les difficultes qu’ils rencontrent pour agir sont mises en lumières et on peut s’imaginer les héros que certains ont été. Ceci dit les images sont belles, la colorimétrie transmet des émotions.
