Rated 5 out of 5 by 7reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Doc2000 Exceeded expectations...RIVETING This movie is for every color of American-- I learned so much, and it was presented in a way that I could not get off the couch. I was afraid I'd miss something. Black Americans will appreciate hearing from dozens of black people on the real history of black America and we finally start getting to the bottom of what motivates the NAACP. This documentary is just a must see. We'll be sharing it around. 02/27/2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by UluHandy Tells the Truth I heard about this documentary on the internet and downloaded it to my computer. It was pretty amazing. They just speak the truth and it's not just one group's truth...it's America's truth. I learned a lot of things that I had no idea about. After I saw the digital version, I bought copies for friends. Now they are buying copies to give away too. Worth much more than the price of the video. 01/14/2013
