Mighty Times: The Legacy of Rosa Parks (2002)
Answers to Qs
In response to another review for Rosa Parks - I can add a bit of inside info having worked on this film. Many of the scenes in Rosa Parks are re-created using period cameras and film stock. Actors stood in for much of the drama that took part on that city bus. In fact they were filmed in California. The recreated footage blends seamlessly with original archival footage from those days in Montgomery, Alabama - not Birmingham. Despite these fabrications, this film brings to life a drama that will forever have its historical significance firmly stamped as a watershed moment for the civil rights movement. In her quiet, subdued manner, Rosa Parks unleashed a movement that was waiting, waiting to burst from the floodgates of freedom and equality.
