Storyline

The Herlihys are a working class family from Chicago whose three children take wildly divergent paths: Brian joins the Marines right out of High School and goes to Vietnam, Michael becomes involved in the civil rights movement and after campaigning for Bobby Kennedy and Eugene McCarthy becomes involved in radical politics, and Katie gets pregnant, moves to San Francisco and joins a hippie commune. Meanwhile, the Taylors are an African-American family living in the deep South. When Willie Taylor, a minister and civil rights organizer, is shot to death, his son Emmet moves to the city and eventually joins the Black Panthers, serving as a bodyguard for Fred Hampton.

great movie!
25 March 2000 | by (Worcester, MA) – See all my reviews

For a television movie, this movie was good. Others found it poor because it was hyped too much. Problem was, they let the hype get to them..BIG MISTAKE. As I was saying, this is a good movie. The acting was above average, the story did not drag & the plot did not ONLY contain a romantic story, it also had most of the big events re-acted & I thought those were some of the greatest scenes a t.v. movie has made in a long time.

Grade: A-
