The two groups engage in meaningful dialogue and combine forces to address a number of socio-economic and political issues of mutual concern. They unite to fight against the invisible barriers of prejudice and injustice and find they have more in common than either group had thought possible.

Critic Reviews

Prairie Miller, WBAI Web Radio
Long before cell phones, laptops and i-Pods, there is striking memory of a time when undistracted humans actually listened to one another intently, and engaged in pure forms of mutual enlightenment and the illumination of political consciousness.

Prairie Miller, WBAI Web Radio
A documentary serving as a righteous corrective to media distortion, and omission of history as a popular social change work-in-progress.
