    La trama se centra en los episodios ocurridos en Alabama y Mississippi bajo el contexto de la lucha por los derechos civiles y el fin de la segregación racial, durante la década de 1960. Estos sucesos históricos sirven como telón de fondo para narrar la historia del activista Bob Zellner, así como otras figuras relevantes de la época. El enfoque particular de la película consiste en mostrar estos hechos desde un aspecto más relacionado con la intrahistoria de sus protagonistas, más sociológico, evidenciando la idiosincrasia reinante en aquella época y los problemas derivados de la misma, centrándose en situaciones concretas de ese periodo histórico combinadas, lógicamente, con la estructura argumental elaborada ex profeso para el film. El resultado es una experiencia entretenida y respetuosa a grandes rasgos con la historia real, pero que, en esencia, constituye un eslabón más en el subgénero de biopics de personajes relacionados con causas justas y nobles. Es una verdadera lástima que la película adolezca de un ritmo frenético presente desde su inicio y no cuide su desarrollo con más pausa, detalle y disfrute para el espectador. Pese a ello, el mensaje del film se transmite bien: es claro y potente, y no tiene miedo de alzar la voz en los momentos críticos. En conclusión, se trata de una cinta bien elaborada, que cuenta con caracterizaciones decentes y cumple correctamente con su cometido, por lo que es recomendable su visionado.

    Far too ignored by the public, this true story of race relations is extremely powerful and really effective.

    Not a bad biopic of the first Southern white man to join the Student march for equality. Portrays prejudices against him by both whites and blacks but he holds his own and becomes deeply respected. One of the white guys killed down there was from my hometown but I was only born at the time.

    While I have grown weary of stories of civil rights injustices / struggles, this was reasonably well done.

    Entertaining but I would have preferred if it were more serious. There are moments in the movie that felt like should have been more meaningful but the quirky comedy of it took away from that. However, that WAS the intentional tone of it, and I'll admit that it makes the story elements more palatable. It can be very difficult to watch things about the history of racial injustice in this country, and by making it irreverently comedic, it makes it easier to watch. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing though. It also ended kind of abruptly.
