Black actors out of that film werent allowed to go to the opening of that film,show that film through every school,its watchable,then let the kids know how cissy couldnt go to the big opening,shocked me,so unfair,taking knee makes you think,but to understand you av to feel it.i knew about that film yrs back,iif youve seen it then you understand.i had nothin to do wi war but can say wen i went on holiday in 80s i always associated germans with the war,cant say i blamed them at that time but things might av been different if id av lost mi grandad,been on one tonight me,why is this world so tough?you deffo get wiser the older you get.
