Is a great movie! If you haven't yet, you must go see it. Part history lesson, inspirational story and biography, it's well worth your hard earned dollars. I advise young persons especially, to see it. They'll learn a lot about not giving up in the face of daunting odds.

I didn't catch on to who it was, until the father's name was mentioned. Then it all fell in place.

I saw it Friday, it was really good.

Denzel Whitaker (forest whitaker's son) was great in it!

I thought he was Forest Whitaker's son too but it's a coincidence. No relation, he looks a hell of a lot like Forest but his father is named Dale Whitaker.

I have to take my older daughter to see this. Thanks to school she has no clue of real Black History.
