    Powerful Story

    Hiding in Plain Sight touched my Heart Soul and Spirit. Words, I pulled from this incredible story...God, Family, Love, Unity, Faith, Believe Trust and triumph (Words to Live By)- Let Go and Let God!!!! (Powerful Life Changing Words) This movie makes you stop and Think, as well as Appreciate what you have in your life at the present time, because at any given second, it all could change. In today's economy, Who can't relate to this story? Education and a man's Love and Care to make a Difference. We need more of this in the world today. There was struggle in each part of the movie, even with the family that seemed to have it all. BUT when you also have Trust, Understanding and Compassion, it changes things. Sometimes, I wish people could see through the eyes of those living in despair. Although this story had a happy ending, not every story will, but that doesn't mean....Give up. "Let Go and Let God!!! Oh one more Word...."BOOTS", who knew hearing the word Boots would be a tear-jerker! I give this movie 5***** You my dear, you poured every emotion you had into it, your energy was so strong, down to your facial expressions of pain. Kudos to Sharice and the rest of the cast, you all were simply... AMAZING AMAZING!!! AMAZING!!!

    A eye opening film with a great message.

    Hiding In Plain Sight tackles a tough topic that needs to be heard in America . The aftermath of the recession still exist.

    M. Legend Brown creates a film that reminds us how close to home this can really be.

    This film shows a very honest side of reality and how sometimes your comfortable surroundings can take a turn for the worst. This families faith is tested beyond the boundaries, but in the end their strong will leads them through the storm. Definitely a film the whole family can watch and learn from.

    No matter what color you are we can still be Hiding In Plain Sight.

    Heart Warming and Thought Provoking

    Hiding in Plain Sight is a story that may not be very foreign to those reading this review. A tale (based on real experiences) of a family effected by the recent economic crises. Kelly O'Neil Jackson gives a riveting performance as Darius Blackmon...trying to make a way for his wife and two children. Its a story of true love, compassion and faith. This is a MUST SEE movie. You will leave the theater with a sense of gratitude but also a true need to do for those less fortunate. Beautifully directed by M. Legend Brown. He has proved to be a force to be reckoned with. Get out to see this film and request that it be screened in your city! --- MUST SEE/NEED TO SEE---

    Poor acting hurt this story.

    The message was heartfelt, but the acting was awful- forced and stiff.

    Hiding In Plain Sight Review

    To see the real struggle of the Blackmon family on the screen was amazing. So many times in life when we are obedient to God, we find ourselves facing challenges. It makes us question God and our path. The Blackmon family held on to their faith and each other. The bond between this husband and wife was to be modeled. The circumstances didn't tear them apart, it made them stronger. M. Legend Brown pulled out of these characters emotions that had a lasting effect on me for weeks. This movie portrayed the inner struggle of Christians in a way that was familiar to many of us. This is the story before the glory yet it's hardly ever shown. Kudos to the cast and crew for putting together such an awesome movie!!
