watched Aug 03, 2017, spitballarmy’s review published on Letterboxd: 9.5 [DVD, library] Perhaps living in Birmingham, Alabama, this resonated more with me than if I had not moved here. But the telling of this historical chapter is thorough and follows a riveting story arc. Great period footage and contemporary recollections. Highly recommended, lest we forget. https://boxd.it/j6hif
