The Long Walk Home
1990 · Movie · 97 min. · United States
Two women, black and white, in 1955 Montgomery Alabama, must decide what they are going to do in response to the famous bus boycott lead by Martin Luther King. The story focus is on a white middle class family whose members have divergent views on the protest. This white woman becomes convinced that it is not fair to require blacks to sit at the back of the bus. She stands up to the male power structure and all her friends in order to do the right thing and help the protestors. The film also reveals some of the sacrifices made by the black citizens of Montgomery during the boycott.
