“Iu0026#39;m a freshman in high school, and at the moment, weu0026#39;re studying the chronicles of civil rights in my history class. My teacher showed this film to us, and it excited me at first, u0026#39;cause Iu0026#39;ve always thought Whoopi Goldberg was awesome and Iu0026#39;ve always enjoyed her films. This was no exception. Movies shown in school tend to be boring, bland and uninteresting. So most of the time, when movies are shown, we take it as an opportunity to catch up on sleep. This movie however, kept our heads up the entire time. We were interested, intrigued, and dying to know what would happen next. It was both thought provoking, entertaining, awe inspiring, and itu0026#39;s even to safe to say, highly addictive. My teacher showed the film in 40 minutes intervals, as this how long each class period is and we were always stuck in our seats after the bell rang, wanting to watch more. It made us look forward to coming to class. Itu0026#39;s an excellent, excellent movie, that I enjoyed and learned a lot from.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e* * * *”
