Four Stars: ˜˜˜˜
Everyone knows about Martin Luther King, Jr. and the race riots in the 60s, but not many people know about the lives of the everyday people who lived through it all and tell their stories in this movie--particularly, the maids. These maids whose mothers had been maids and whose grandmothers had been house slaves, finally join the fight in their own way: whether baking fecal pies or writing about their abusive employers. You can laugh and cry with these women as their world changes in this exceptional film.
