Second Sunday Cinema & The Clearlake United Methodist Church P r e s e n t: Freedom Riders Could you Get on the Bus? In May of 1961, a courageous band of 400 civil rights activists, black & white, young & old, male & female, boarded ordinary Greyhound buses headed from Wash DC to the Deep South .  This powerful, harrowing and ultimately uplifting & inspiring film accompanies them as they head towards angry white mobs armed with rage and metal pipes.  Their bravery and their strong commitment to NON-VIOLENT, PEACEFUL action helped to profoundly change America ’s future.  This amazing and moving film, using archival footage and current interviews with the original Riders, supports the dramatic content astonishingly well, never diminishing the suspense, drama, and most important, the authenticity of the content.  A just-released documentary that is vivid, awe-inspiring and full of life.   Your heart will soar!  2 hours ·      “A stunning accomplishment!’ – New York Times ·      All 17 reviews on Amazon give this film 5 stars and a MUST SEE! NOTE!  Mrs Alberta Williams King, humble, loving and dynamic matriarch of MLK’S family, will introduce this film (in the body of Lake County ’s own Voris Brumfield.) ALSO!  Following up on Crash Course, motivated & interested people will begin developing a home-grown way to increase RESILIENCE in a time of change.  We’ll meet after the film.
