Editorial Review:
This 1973 television movie about 110 years of American history as seen through the eyes of a black woman from Louisiana (Cicely Tyson) is a terrific achievement, a window onto racism from the Civil War to the Civil Rights Movement. Tyson gives a career performance as the title character, whose personal life is inextricably woven into the fabric of the African American struggle for equality. A mixture of the sentimental and the unflinching, this is the kind of educational experience that fully engages a viewer. --Tom Keogh
The story of the life an African American woman from Louisiana, from the time of her childhood as a slave in the pre-Civil War South to 1962, when she witnesses the birth of the civil rights movement at the age of one hundred and ten.

Rating:  - I'm a 16yo girl and I say the old lady is cool
K. So, the movie was actually pretty cool. It was one of those movies where the person is tellin a story about their life & while they're tellin you, it actually shows you what happens instead of having to try & picture it yourself. The old lady was funny too which made it fun to watch. I really liked how all the actors were really good ones. I would recommend this movie to anyone & everyone. It's a REALLY good movie about slavery & how blacks were treated & I almost cried twice. ... Read More
Rating:  - Bad DVD transfer
It is a pity that a powerful film like this one got such a terrible transfer.
It has no subtitles in any language or even English close-captions, which could be very useful in certain scenes where the dialogue is hard to understand.
I was lucky enough that two days after I viewed this DVD I was able to watch it on FLIX Cable Channel, and surprise! The print was far superior and it was close-captioned.
Now, this 2 Disc Special Edition do offer a second Disc with very interesting interviews ... Read More

Rating: - Really great movie
This is a very good movie for history buffs. I seen this when I was younger.
Rating: - All Aspiring Actors and Actresses must watch this film!
Back in the 1970s, television movies were still new but they were often excellent on par with cinematic gems like the Godfather and film classics. This film is truly a television classic which features a legendary, once-in-a lifetime performance by perhaps America's finest actress, Cicely Tyson, who earned two Emmys for this performance. She deserved to get an Academy Award if possible. She is brilliant in anything but in this film, she plays Miss Jane Pittman who recalls her lifetime at 110 years old from ... Read More
