ABOUT THE FILM:⁠
In 1960, a group of active students [from Paine College] in Augusta, Georgia formed a Steering Committee to stand-up against the masses for their beliefs of equality. Armed with nothing more than inspiration and hope, this fearless collective of students launched an impossible mission - their story remains untold, until now.⁠
