Pre integration so you get the relevance. However the female lead took lying and deception along with her friend to a level so extreme you knew it could only end badly and it did. In the end the lying made her a completely unsympathetic character. No winners, no uplifting message, no moral in this one. Everyone was either a liar or a racist.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

This movie was very tragic and emotional, but the story could have been better, especially the ending.
