Black History Month Movie Suggestion: Dare Not Walk Alone
May we suggest, for this year's Black History Month, you watch this film: Dare Not Walk Alone. You can watch the trailer and read all about this award-winning civil rights documentary on IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes where it has excellent ratings (8.8/10 and 86%).
[Update, 2025: Sadly, you can no longer rent Dare Not Walk Alone on NetFlix or Amazon Prime due to the exorbitant cost of licensing the old TV news footage in the film.]
Amazon still offers Dare Not Walk Alone on DVD and you can find used DVDs on eBay US and eBay UK.
Why watch Dare Not Walk Alone? Consider these unsolicited comments people have made about the film:
The issues of legacy and unmet challenges of the movement are nowhere better addressed than in your film
~~ Dr. Chris Magoc, Mercyhurst College, PA
Films like this give me knowledge and a hope that maybe I can do something to change the world.
~~ Ian Soto, Orlando
An excellent film, compelling, painful, a story that needs to be told-–the change already taking place in St. Augustine is a small but positive and hopeful step.
~~ Peggy Sheffield, St. Petersburg, FL
Wow! Been in Florida ten years and had no idea all this happened and is still going on. Thanks for enlightening me!
~~ Eva Krzewinski, Altamonte Springs
Amazing film! Opened my eyes to something I had never truly understood. You guys are doing an amazing job. Keep it up!
~~ Melissa Soto, Orlando, FL
A powerful real life story that many people don’t know about. Great footage. Strong music.
~~ Darren Zanolini, Orlando.
Excellent depiction of the complexity of racial and class struggle in Florida and the continued relevance of race and socioeconomic status in American life. Great connection between the roles of housing, education, criminal justice system and their impacts on continuing life choices.
