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.
Very moving; Powerful
This is one of the saddest, most gripping documentaries i have ever seen. Four little girls is about the death of four young black girls who died in a KKK church bombing in birmingham, alabama and about racism & segregation. Though not a thriller, it will keep you on the edge of your seat for its entirety. Sympathy, empathy, tears, anger...you name it, and you'll feel it while viewing this film.
The personal interviews are powerful beyond words, and the interviewed can relate to anyone, causing even more empathy. Once you reach the end, after the interviews (of the good and the bad), the autopsy shots and other images, plus effective music, that's it. You feel like you could start a revolt against racism and segregation. This could move a racist or any member of a hateful clan. Experience this movie.
