A father, a son and a movement that would change America forever.
You read a book in the library. Order a sandwhich at a lunch counter. Register to vote. They're ordinary acts of everyday citizens. In 1961's Quintan, Mississippi, they're acts of revolution.
Freedom Song, starring Danny Glover (also an executive producer) Vondie Curtis Hall, Vicellous Reon Shannon, Loreta Devine, Glynn Turman, Stan Shaw and DAvid Strathaim, is a compelling microcosm of the Civil Rights Movement, a stirring chronicle of unsung small-town citizens who risked their lives to bring change at the grassroots level. Phil Alden Robinson (Field of Dreams) co-scripts and directs this powerful tale set in fictional Quinlan and based on first-hand accounts of veteran activists who stood on the frontlines of history and responded with passion and commitment to the challenge of "If not me, who? If not now, when?"
