Powerful period piece of Georgia History., 2 February 2002
Author: William Brian Park (Nowhereman-2) from Athens, GA.

I enjoyed this film which was on SHOWTIME recently. "Based upon true events" this film tells the story of one civil war era family that kept a potentially deadly secret from the person who most needed to know the secret. Fine performances by Sam Waterston (anything he does is worth watching), Jennifer Beals and the rest of the cast. Hard to believe that we're looking at Toronto, Ontario instead of the real-life location of South Georgia (just over from L.A.- Lower Alabama). Take the time to watch this interesting film which changed Georgia law.
