Before Equality there was this

Rating: 8/10 (28 May 2018)

I am born free, and we are all born free. Why do we form biases and why do we have to think ourselves superior than others because of the color of theirs and our skin, or because of having money and worldly possessions give some people a self-entitlement and think the lives of others don't matter? Sadly, slavery is a part of history and we can not hide the fact that even the present generation still bear some ignorance towards this subject. Set before the second world war in rural America, this is a film about two families, one White, the other black. Both families had sons who served and survived and coincidentally formed a friendship in a small town laden with folks who are members of the KKK. Needless to say, there are complications and later on a tragic event occurred . The opening scène is a flashback, the story unfolded then back to that moment of flashback crucial to the survival of those involved. Depressing and painful, but bear in mind, slavery is never a joking matter. Well acted and realistic shots, the viewer gets transported back in time. Sometimes dragging but worth watching.
