COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Interesting True Story submitted by monkk on July 7, 2014, 8:43pm In 1958 there were laws against interracial marriage. It's hard for me to believe, but impossible not to when watching this true story of a couple who fought those laws and succeeded. A well done historical documentary.

great story submitted by Jackie77 on August 16, 2015, 10:27pm Great documentary telling the story of an interacial marriage, arrests, and fighting the system. Triumphant ending.
