Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential video:
This 1973 television movie about 110 years of American history as seen through the eyes of a black woman from Louisiana (Cicely Tyson) is a terrific achievement, a window onto racism from the Civil War to the Civil Rights Movement. Tyson gives a career performance as the title character, whose personal life is inextricably woven into the fabric of the African American struggle for equality. A mixture of the sentimental and the unflinching, this is the kind of educational experience that fully engages a viewer. --Tom Keogh

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I'm a 16yo girl and I say the old lady is cool
K. So, the movie was actually pretty cool. It was one of those movies where the person is tellin a story about their life & while they're tellin you, it actually shows you what happens instead of having to try & picture it yourself. The old lady was funny too which made it fun to watch. I really liked how all the actors were really good ones. I would recommend this movie to anyone & everyone. It's a REALLY good movie about slavery & how blacks were treated & I almost cried twice. WATCH THE MOVIE, HOMIES! The old lady is pretty cool. She did something really awesome at the end that made me say "Oh snap!". Oh, & she lived to be 110! :D



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Bad DVD transfer
It is a pity that a powerful film like this one got such a terrible transfer.
It has no subtitles in any language or even English close-captions, which could be very useful in certain scenes where the dialogue is hard to understand.
I was lucky enough that two days after I viewed this DVD I was able to watch it on FLIX Cable Channel, and surprise! The print was far superior and it was close-captioned.
Now, this 2 Disc Special Edition do offer a second Disc with very interesting interviews with author, screenwriter, director, producer and actors.These features alone worth the price of this edition.
In spite of the poor transfer I very much enjoyed this movie.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - We have to know of History...
I could a little bit understand of Afro-American`s history through this movie. I think... they are one of real owner in United Stated Of America.If anyone know of Afro-American? Just watch this movie... Especially yello people...
