 The movie while having a fictional plot line was able to accurately articulate the racial tension in Montgomery, Alabama during the 1950 boycotts. The aspects that the film tries to target is from the race, class, wealth, and even parenting perspective amongst our two protagonists in which they both differ because one serves as a maid and the other as a wife. The film was able to effectively illustrate the complexity in dynamics amongst the individuals' relationships amongst their respective families and the gradual shift in attitudes that were spurred by the boycotts. Rosa Park’s actions of getting arrested by the refusal to give up her bus seat shifted the attitude amongst southern Black Americans to peacefully protest against discrimination and to fight for a better future for American society. -Alex

In addition to showcasing the unity within the Black community and the nuanced connections with white supporters, the film offers insight into the everyday problems, financial hardships, and personal sacrifices made by Black Americans through fictional characters.
