This is a good movie. Clean enough for family viewing, but mature subject. I am a child of the 70's, so this really touched a spot in me. I also have a biracial family member and I have seen some of these same struggles. Probably midrange budget, but the point is well made.

Black and White

"I loved this movie, the best I have seen in years. If you are in an interacial relationship I promise you that it will jerk some tears. There was some decrepancies in the timeline and war draft rules for vietnam, but if you set those aside you will love this movie. I am a white man married to a black woman and we deal with these problems everyday, so it really hits home even if it takes place 30 years ago. The summary of the movie has nothing to do with the actual screenplay, I rented this thinking it was a war movie, but it was a love story with about 10 minutes of battle scenes. I was not dissapointed in the end."
Outstanding - outstanding

"this is a movie i can recommend with no reservations. although i did recognize a number of cast members, the leads, almost without exception were unknown to me. each and every one of them will hopefully go on to bigger movies. by bigger i mean in scope as i don't think there are going to be bigger movies. maybe in cash dollars there will be, but not in stature. i am happy to say this movie brought tears to my eyes. there are happy moments and very sad moments in this movie but there is also a message for anyone that wants to hear it. this was a great movie and i enjoyed it immensely. highly recommend, if my recommendation means anything at all. gary in az."
A Great American Film

"This is an outstanding film about a white male who falls in love with an African-American woman in the rural south during the early sixties. The two are married, only for the husband being drafted during the Vietnam War. Throughout the film, you relive the history that takes place: the assassinations of President Kennedy and Martin Luther King, the cruel treatment of the blacks in the South. I believe this movie has been one of the best films released in some time, and yet, has not been widely acclaimed. I hope that all of you take the time to watch this movie."
Most powerful Racial Film that I have ever seen
R. Rivera | USA | 04/06/2006

"Wow what a pleasant surprise! A film with a great message, good acting and amazing talent. What is the most important thing in this life? This movie answers this question. The message of a fathers love is so real and so amazing in this film. The amazing sacrifice is the true sign of Love that is so evident in this film and no matter what color you are or where you are from this love can bring us all together if we let it and if we are willing to pay the price for it."
