1 star (Turkey) For African-American history this movie is unhelpful. There's no plot, no character development and no way to determine relationships. The dialect is hard to follow without subtitles. With a lot of ads up-front, this DVD is a challenge! ~Sandy
3 stars (Good Enough) There seems to be little in the way of a normal conversation between the characters - more speechmaking. Beautifully photographed. ~Tubbs
