    A disappointing transformation that makes me yearn for Holderfield's true story.
    Seeing the synopsis, I was really looking forward to seeing the transformation of Paul Holderfield. Unfortunately, it was not to be seen in this film. There was little in the way of a transformation. Holderfield is portrayed from the start as someone already conflicted and not very racist, especially for a white man in the 60s south. The movie ended before you saw his journey to build his desegregated church. All you get are a few blurbs about it before the end credits, which, by the way, didn't come soon enough. The acting was abysmal, with the notable exception of Linda Purl. If you are looking for a far better religious-oriented film about a transformation, see Father Stu.
