Sarah Reviews "The Long Walk Home"

"The Long Walk Home" is a movie that has been sitting in my Netflix queue for months. Had I known I'd like it as much as I did, I would have watched it ages ago. Set during the bus boycotts during the Civil Rights Movement, Whoopi Goldberg and Sissi Spacek really brought to life the struggle that was Montgomery, Alabama, in the '50s. I love watching movies that center on a little piece of American history, and it was interesting to see one from the perspective this movie offered. Watching the movie made me wonder if I would have had the courage to make the choices Miriam (Spacek) did or if I would have kept quiet amid the social injustices of the time. It reminded me that we're all the same, and while we may feel that we can't individually make a difference, collectively we can.
