Danny Glover and writer/director Phil Alden Robinson (Field of Dreams) reveal the impact of the 1960s civil rights movement on a small Southern town in the compelling drama Freedom Song.In the fictional town of Quinlan, Mississippi, the arrival of a civil rights group leader inspires a young African-American teenager, Owen Walker (Vicellous Reon Shannon), to join the crusade to desegregate his hometown. Leading sit-ins and helping black people register to vote, Owen and his friends risk their lives to transform Quinlan. But Owen's dangerous involvement with the organization threatens to destroy his relationship with his fearful father (Glover). With a rousing score composed and performed by Academy Award winner James Horner (Titanic) and the a cappella voices of Sweet Honey In The Rock, this stirring tale of courage gives eloquent voice to Freedom Song
