Customer Ratings & Reviews

In 1923, a prosperous black town in Florida was burned to the ground, its people hunted and murdered, all because a white woman falsely claimed that a black man sexually assaulted her. This woman's husband knew deep down she was a tramp but chose not to face up to it. Shocking to learn another man who initiated,ignited the townspeople to violently react in this manner was aware of the truth from the beginning. Hard to watch but a excellent movie. Great acting and storyline that's difficult to watch. The movie demonstrates just how cruel people can be when it comes racism. I'm a movie buff but had never seen this film. Heart wrenching to watch one human being treating another like an animal. Sparing no one, burying those they killed in a mass grave. The terrible acts that were committed reminded me of the horrible, mind boggling history of the holocaust. One shining light was the young child who lost respect for his cruel, prejudiced father teaching him to follow in his footsteps by example utilizing bullying tactics. This man was the worst of them all.

I love this movie , great story line . Old classic that’s a must see

If you are a movie buff, then this is a film that should be in your collection. This 23 year old film is based on true accounts; although not entirely accurate, it is still interesting to see how much has not changed in our society today.

I love this movie. I didn't know at the time that I watched this movie, that it was a true story. This is a part of history that should be mentioned, but you never hear anything about it. A great movie.

I saw this movie years ago and wanted my granddaughters to see. Great find, great price.

Great product for the money I was searching for this movie everywhere and found it here

Very sad movie of a true event in history. Very sad.

Excellent movie! I only paid $3.99 for it, and replaced the dvd that was lost.

I've been wanting this movie for a long time and finally decided to buy it for my movie collection!!!

When I saw this dvd so cheap, I had to buy it! So many classic scenes!

Enjoyed watching movie with children and being able to discuss.

This dvd that I have purchased only shows half of the movie.it only shows up to scene 21.

I was very disappointed that I did not see the entire movie. Half way through, the movie was cut off. I tried to move past the point it stopped, but the dvd started again from the beginning.
