In 1965, during the turbulent early days of the right-to-vote movement, a young Alabama school girl (Jurnee Smollett ) is inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (Clifton Powell) to resist the degradation that her fellow African Americans are suffering. Along with a white seminary student (Mackenzie Astin) from the north, and against the ever-increasing threat of racial violence, she promises to do what she can to help Dr. King's efforts.
