There's been a lot of radio done about the civil rights movement--but this is a very special piece of work. These women were not exactly "leaders" of the student movement in th e South, which makes the piece much better; you get a sense of what it really felt like. And the producers make the good choice of all but ignoring the 'emergence-of-feminism' story and the 'interracial sex' story, both of which have been told before. Instead, we get a real feel of what it felt like in Alabama and Mississippi in those years. Which may be the single most compelling story in all of American history.
