My family lived on Madison street in the early 1960’s. I watched it burned down in 1968. Sad to say I was over there last week. Sad to say not much has changed. This was a touching film. I hope it can be expanded upon.

good lock everyone, “change is a slogan”. i don’t think you can eat a slogan Posted 11/04/08 by John Worrall
Great film and very much needed today. This election has been all about the wealth ratio between the upper and middle classes, but neither of those groups is the one that needs the most attention right now. It’s time we stopped governing only for the wealthy and started addressing the needs of those citizens whose struggle is the toughest. |
