MEET MARY PLEASANT
(Mother of Civil Rights)-- NEW lower price! -- 56:31
min.
(Multi-Awardwinning PBS Version)
Bibbs awardwinning performance documentary, narrated
by RUBY DEE, also interweaves SUSHEEL BIBBS' renowned performance
as Pleasant, based on years of research and Pleasant's own words.
The film interweaves commentary by internationally known scholars,
original period photos, enactments, montages, Archival film footage,
animation, and period music (including spirituals sung or hummed by
Bibbs), to reveal Pleasant's true, colorful story. Seven years in
the making and 13 years in research, it's not fiction, but rather,
the colorful history of the abolition, the Underground Railroad, early
SF history, and Civil Rights as a backdrop to Pleasant's inspiring
story. The film reveals Pleasant's most important civil-rights contribution--
a court battle that changed modern civil-rights law. And it addresses
controversies that so long obscured her life. Read reviews
