In all good conscious, I cannot positively review a movie written and directed by Susan DeRose (she uses S. E. DeRose in her role as writer/director). At their restaurant 'OK Café', she and her partner, Richard Lewis, willfully chose to display the 1956 iteration of the Georgia state flag (which prominently displayed the confederate flag) until June 2020. The flag's current iteration (which removed the confederate flag) was adopted by the state of Georgia in February 2003. There are other controversies related to DeRose, Lewis and the restaurants but, for me, this says it all. It may also help explain the light take on the civil rights movement and the historical inaccuracy of post 1964 depicted in this film. I am Caucasian. I was born and raised in South Georgia in the 60s.
