The true story of the most important legal battle of our time. The year is 1950 and America is divided between black and white. Schools, restaurants, trains and busesÖeven drinking fountains cannot be shared by both races. Although slavery has been outlawed for nearly a century, segregation is legal. (official distributor synopsis)
