Movie Review: The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman
Summary: 5 Stars
The product was as described and in good working condition. My wife was very satisfied with the product. It is a true story which we had seen in the past but we wanted it for our own personal library, which we hope our grand-children will view in the future.Movie Review: The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman
Summary: 5 Stars
In February, 1962, as the civil rights movement reaches Bayonne, Louisiana, a New York journalist arrives to interview Jane Pittman, who has just turned 110. She tells him her story dating back to her earliest memories before slavery ended, a long walk toward freedom, marriage to Joe Pittman, her adopted son Ned's work as an educator, helping to raise Jimmy, who returns as a civil rights worker, and her own decision to become involved in contemporary issues. In between the chapters of her life, the present-day struggles of Blacks in Bayonne. Cicely Tyson's performance as Miss Jane is magnificent. This is a very emotional and moving movie. A tale of incredible endurance and resilience.Movie Review: excellent video
Summary: 5 Stars
this is the ultimate video to captivate high school students and teach them about the progress made in America concerning race relations. I have used in for years and am pleased that it never fails to get students talking on a more personal basis about ending the hate.Movie Review: A must have for movie collectors
Summary: 5 Stars

Summary of The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman [VHS]
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 KeoghTV & Miniseries Video
