Tom and I saw Freedom Riders first thing this morning. Some incredible newly-found archival footage (courtesy of the FBI no less) marks this compelling film. A great window into the early days of the Kennedy administration as well as the civil rights movement. Includes some great interviews with the Freedom Riders themselves, the then governor of Impressive as a window into history, but also as a testament to human courage in the face of almost certain violence. A keeper.
