4 Little Girls Reviews

4 Little Girls
An invaluable piece of film-making, as Lee revisits an atrocity we should never forget. The overwhelming sense of personal loss is palpable and heart-rending. It's also striking how the tragedy accelerated the progress of civil rights by thrusting the race issue onto the world stage. Ultimately, these four promising, innocent girls are seen as martyrs to the age-old struggle for racial equality. A touching, insightful film from Lee.

Incredible...
My favorite part of the documentary is the opening scene with black and white still shots of the Civil Rights movement and Joan Baez singing Birmingham Sunday. I actually could not believe how incredibly exquisite that song is! I had never heard it before and sat completely riveted to the tv. I actually called my husband in, started it over, and both of us just reveled in it's poignant beauty.

Spike Lee sets the stage of this documentary wonderfully, including depicting the violent history of Birmingham and why those 4 little Angels died.

If you haven't seen this documentary, please do, it's worth every penny.
