The movie tells you about how hard it was to be black in USA in the 60’s. The movie features many truthful facts about black and white people which you will never learn at school. The movie is very educational and the screenplay is also excellent.
The plot is about 2 women in Montgomery Alabama, one is black and the other one is white. The movie takes place in 1955 and shows you the story how hard the black people really had to fight to survive at this time. Black people were forced to sit in the back of the bus and they almost worked as slaves. Still you will see how Miriam Thompson (Sissy Spacek) and Odessa Cotter (Whoopi Goldberg) managed to keep being best friends.
