Summary: Based on his book of the same name, an account of the true experiences of John Howard Griffin, a white man who artificially coloured his skin and travelled throughout the segregated Southern U.S. in the late 1950's to experience what it was like to be a black man at that place and time.
Starring: James Whitmore, Sorrell Booke and Roscoe Lee Browne
Directed by: Carl Lerner

Notes:

 - Strangely (considering that it is based on true events and its influence on the civil rights movement of the early 1960's) this film is out of print. It was actually released on DVD, but with such a small run that it is generally thought that it never was. Even a used original DVD can cost hundreds of dollars.
 
 - Not my rip/encode. I found it elsewhere, but I think it should be here too. It's passable but I would have made the resolution a little higher. I'd re-encode it myself, but see above. ;^)

 - I seed using "Initial Seeding" which means that the torrent may show zero seeds; disregard this as I will seed for several days until there are other seeds.

 - Please make sure to seed as my upstream is rather slow (256kbps.) Small-scale torrents of hard-to-find large files such as rare movies are more vulnerable to dying if everyone doesn't seed to 100% or higher. Please do your part so free media will always be available. If everyone seeded to 101%, no torrent would ever die.

Comments

I have read the book. and also read snipits here and there about the waves this book made when it was published the first time. It was a game changer in American social and political scene. . Good on you to upload this Torrent. . Cheers. .
