Acurate depiction (2002-12-19)  This was an accurate depiction of the attitude toward blacks in the south in the 40's. It was well written and well acted, especially by Grossett and Sara Gilbert. My wife and I watched it on tape from the original presentation on the LifeTime channel. I cried all through the movie. There were some dramatic moments. One was when the hunters found Simpson. Simpson acted just as was expected of a black in those days. Another was the town meeting. It took courage for Mary Agnes to come through with the truth. The child molestation was treated as was the custom in those days: Don't believe the kids, it can't happen here, a black man was responsible. I believe that any young ladies, black or white, would benefit much from watching this video. It treats a delicate subject in a way that youngsters could relate to. For the screen play and the excellent performance of the actors, I heartily give this 5 star rating on a par with "To Kill a Mocking Bird."
