I wanted to respond to the comments on this movie. I was eight years old when I was selected to be in the cast of this movie. The directors came to Northern California - Berkeley to select children to play the school kids in this movie. It was filmed in "Russell City" now known as Redwood City, California. It was definitely a "crowning experience for me. I had the opportunity to work with Ann Buckles, Murial Smith, Louis Byles, George McCurdy, William Pawley, Jr. I would like to know how to obtain a copy of the movie. The storyline was about Mary Bethune McCloud and how she started a school. This is a "must see movie" very appropriate for 2008 considering we have a Black candidate running for President of the US.
