Hailed as "a triumph of outrage and empathy," the NAACP Image Award nominated documentary Dare Not Walk Alone sets "the greatest civil rights story never told" to a soundtrack that flows from gospel to hip hop. Places the heroic fight for civil rights in '64 in the context of life today in a place where those battles were fought, a place that epitomizes what Senator Barack Obama has called "the gap between the promise of our ideals and the reality of their time."
Director: Jeremy Dean

This is the type of documentary that should be done for all the great battlefields of the civil rights movement. I talk to young students who think it was like the Christmas Parade or the Easter Parade when Martin Luther King came to town. Not hardly! There was tension and violence, resistance and threats. This is a great lesson in how history is actually made. I thank the filmmakers for their effort in bringing public understanding of this important era.
