This well-acted period piece is still relevant today. As with many movies from the 1960's that address racism in the south, there is always a key character that dares to challenge the status quo. That character, often times, represents the courageous voice of the discontent. Duff, the protagonist, embodies this sentiment but instead of linking his efforts to the civil rights' movement he fights solo. There were many individuals during that period who attempted to carry the mantle alone. I'm not sure what these individual efforts contributed to the collective, but we're better off today. I can't say what I would have done if faced with the same obstacles.
