Such a sad story and sickening that it's a true story! Racism is an evil thing that brings out true evil in people and this movie shows just how evil racism can be and is! To all my black brothers and sisters I am so so sorry for the stain that peoples hatred of this country has left upon you and all your ancestors. Let this movie be a testament as to what hatred can do to a person, this movie will show you the end result of hate. I do however love when the characters son leaves and chooses not to hate, and absolutely love Mr. Mann in this movie.

I was born in Florida in 1963 and I have seen the movie and so sad how one person can have a hold town burn down and get people kill with a LIE and it still going on now the only thing that is not the same is the year that happen in 1923 and this is 2015

This film is a painful reminder of what can happen when you choose not to tell the truth. My Father God Rest his Soul took me to go and see this film because he wanted me to see what telling a lie can lead to.
