Standing on My Sister’s Shoulders:
A film about the Mississippi Freedom Movement
by Joan Sadoff, Dr. Robert Sadoff & Laura J. Lipson
http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c617.shtml
A missing chapter in our nation’s record of the Civil Rights movement, this powerful documentary reveals the movement in Mississippi in the 1950’s and 60’s from the point of view of the courageous women who lived it and emerged as its grassroots leaders. Their living testimony offers a window into a unique moment when the founders’ promise of freedom and justice passed from rhetoric to reality for all Americans.
