**Bravo** "Regina King" a most moving film for the likes of us mere mortals.
Thought provoking for sure but more than just imaging a world without racism, greed, hatred and violence; i think this movie is a call to everyone to choose
a better way of life for family and loved ones. The struggle is finding a way
to nurture a safe place for all of us. Thanks again for the Show....
