Faith gave black families a way of insulating themselves from the oppression of segregation in the 1940s and 1950s, and provided the seeds for opposition to Jim Crow. We observe the movement in Georgia and Mississippi from the perspective of Prathia Hall, an eminent black preacher who was born in 1940 and literally grew up as the Movement grew bigger. Chosen for her deep faith and thoughtfulness, Hall's life becomes the lens through which we witness the struggle against Jim Crow, through which we ultimately question the viability of a non-violent and racist American culture. Hall is one of many voices in the film-voices of ordinary people who, through faith, song, and the rituals of the black church - successfully transformed America.
