User Reviews

Not even a real life story.

I used to study this type of activism and I am quite familiar with this story and its character.

This movie was trying to prostrate as it was positively event when the real story was nothing what that movie was made out to be. There is a lot of stories in this movie that needs to addressing to. I'll leave a few examples in here:

First of off, this lady was never had a romance with this Civil Rights activist.

Secondly, the FBI was not harassing her all because of hers political, nor because of hers involvement with Civil Rights, except it was because of her being involvement with a racist black group that was attempting to rob a several business and motivate to kill the enforcement.

Lastly, this lady was arrested for treason, publicity destruction, hatred, and harassing the soldiers whose return from Vietnam.

This movie needs to re-fix with fact-checking, instead of doing it to supports the propaganda.

I'll give it a 10 star once they fix it, but I know they won't.

(EDIT: Do some research instead of clicking dislikes all because you are offended by it.)
