Product: Chiefs [Region 2] (1983)
Rating: 5.0
Three police chiefs in a small Georgia town
As well as two generations of a Georgia family in service to the people. The first is Will Henry Lee, the town's very first police officer. Then comes his son Billy, who goes into politics (another film, "Roots", deals with yet a third generation in public service, Billy's son Will). The entire saga is Southern life in all its glory--prejudice, ambition and passion. Stuart Woods, who wrote the novels this miniseries and the other film are based on, shares only with Pat Conroy the title of "The Faulkner Of Our Times". If I were you, I'd get the other film as well--and both books!
