The film chronicles the story behind hundreds of civil rights activists called the Freedom Riders who challenged the racial segregation of the American interstate transport and by traveling together in small interracial groups and sitting where they chose on the buses and trains to demand equal access to terminal restaurants and waiting rooms, and to bring racial segregation national attention.
I am so filled with admiration for these brave people who gave up so much, and even risked their lives, to make the words "Liberty and Justice for all" a reality in America, instead of just empty words. That battle was not won once and for all; it continues to this day, in so many ways. Let us look to the shining example of the Freedom Riders and do what is right!
I will never understand how someone could hate another person just because they look different.
The young students of 1961 were courageous.
They are superb, both effort of people that standing up for fundamental rights and the movie tells us about them. Thanks a lot

I’m Canadian. My Dad told me that years ago, before I was born, a little girl came to stay with his family for a time. I don’t know why. But she was from the Southern US, and white. One day they were walking down the street. A Black man was walking toward them. He was a friend of theirs. But, when the little girl saw him, she stamped her foot and told him, “N……! Get off the sidewalk and into the gutter!” Dad said my Grandparents didn’t know where to look.
