A Time for Justice: America's Civil Rights Movement
A Time for Justice: America's Civil Rights Movement
is the story of the American civil rights movement as told by those who fought the battle for the right to vote during the 1950s and 1960s. It depicts the struggle though the experiences of its foot soldiers: the men and women who rode where they weren't supposed to ride; walked where they weren't supposed to walk; sat where they weren't supposed to sit. And who stood their ground until they won their freedom.
Produced by four-time Academy Award winner Charles Guggenhem, A Time for Justice recalls the crisis in Montgomery, Little Rock, Birmingham and Selma. But more importantly, it reveals the heroism of individuals who risked their lives for the cause of freedom and equality.
A Time for Justice uses the first-hand testimony of participants and stunning archival footage to present a concise and compelling look at the grass-roots movement that sought to extend the fruits of democracy and basic human dignity to all of the nation's people.
