A filmről

Academy Award winner Whoopi Goldberg is Odessa Carter, a quietly dignified woman, who works as a housekeeper for Miriam Thompson (Academy Award winner Sissy Spacek). When Odessa honors the 1955 Montgomery, Alabama, bus boycott by walking an exhausting nine miles to and from work, Miriam offers her a ride. Defying both Miriam's racist husband (Dwight Schultz) and the powerful White Citizen's Council, Miriam and Odessa put their lives in danger for civil rights. Their shared experiences draw them closer as a deep respect and lasting friendship forms. Together, in a difficult world of black versus white, they manage to discover a common ground.

I watched this movie years ago and to this day it's still a favorite. It doesn't matter the color of your skin, people are people and should be treated as you want to be treated. There's good and bad in all races. Just be a good, kind, loving person and you'll get the same in return. 💙

Women in this country have endured discrimination and survived. I like it when all women no matter the nationality fight for what is right...

Just an amazing touching movie.
