Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this movie for an after school program of 4-6 graders, based on high recomendations from several people. The film starts out quite cheesy and the kids were a little dubious, especially the older ones, but within a very short time they become entranced. I chose to show it in two half hours over two days due to our schedule. I turned off the first half to much protest, the kids were engrossed. It was all I could do not to cry watching some of the live footage scenes mixed with animation.
I belive, and it has been very well proven with our kids, that they need to know about what went on in our history. Some feel it is too disturbing, but adults now were once kids that age and actually experienced the atrocities of segregation.
I highly recomend this movie as part of a large discussion for this age group, discussions that include not only Martin Luther King Jr. but Rosa Parks, Malcolm X and other leaders of civil rights movement. You will be amazed at some of the enlightened comments that they will make. I was extremely moved by how far we as a society have come. We still have a ways to go but, we are so much more advanced and the next generation behind us is, to my relief, one of tremendous compassion.

I first seen this video at the school that I worked at. I thought it was the best video I ever seen on Martin Luther King. So much so that I had to buy it for my son's school so the children at his school would know about what he did for our country. My son also did his report on Martin Luther King and used the video for a source. His teacher plans to show the video to his class for Black History Month.Movie Review: This product was a great buy

I have shown this video to my special education students (grades 3 to 5) for many years. They enjoy the music, the animation, the real video footage, and the time-traveling premise. They commented on Dr. King's speeches and his voice. Most of all, they GOT the Message. It really opened the door for many discussion questions. A great way to teach our history to low- and non-readers.
