Great Movie!

Rating: 10/10 (12 April 2015)

The film depiction of the novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" is an inspiring story of the heroism and courage of those in support of the civil rights movement in the south. Much of the story focuses on the point of view of children observing the civil rights movement and the call for justice and equality for all races and the naivety that a child would have. The film was released in 1962, a time of intense racial segregation and prejudice in the United States. The movie could be seen as an eye opening experience for the viewer on the hardships faced by the African-American community and in all likelihood contributed to the achievement of racial equality. All in all, the film is an uplifting tale of the morality of the human spirit and the fight against the wrong doings committed by the United States south in the early decades of the 20th century.
