this movie was my grandmother favorite movie. it was like it hit home for her. due to the fact that it is a part of history that is kind of swept under the rug. the actors was amazing. the story line and plot was just beautiful. you see the movie actually showed what life was back in the day. meaning how they had to keep a smile on their face no matter how they was being treated. which still goes on till this day. you have to keep a smile on your face to make others feel safe. it was a well rounded educational movie depending on how you look at it.
