Guessing this is all made up, not a chance in hell the ending goes down like that in 50s America, they all would have died.

their friendship is everything. such a powerful emotional film. I love seeing Goldberg play a more sensitive role.

"White Savior" trope, but not as much as The Help. Great performances, well-crafted, and it blows my mind to think that racists from that era are still alive today — still spreading that vitriol. My blood is boiling, but it was a good movie.
