[DVD Details]
  • Freedom Song
  • Freedom Song is a compelling microcosm of the Civil Rights Movement, as stirring chronicle of unsung small-town citizens who risked their lives to bring change to the grassroots level. Phil Alden Robinson (Field of Dreams) co-scripts and directs this powerful tale set in fictional Quinlan and based on first-hand accounts of vetran activists who stood on the frontlines of history and responded with passion and commitment to the challenge of "If not me, who? If not now, when?"
