This was an intelligent, well-done story about the Watts' riots in Los Angeles back in 1965. It doesn't pander; it tells it as it was in a mature (and family-safe) manner. It sports a nice cast, too, with Cicely Tyson, Blair Underwood, James Earl Jones and Sally Kirkland.
Language-wise, this is a surprisingly clean movie. Even more of a shock is to see a good Christian woman in the lead (Tyson as "Ruthana Richardson") Blair and Underwood play likable characters as well.

STORY - The film, based on a true story, begins with a scene from the Watts riot with two cousins (Bob Richardson & J.T. Turpin) arguing over whether to throw a molotov cocktail. It then flashes back to show how they and their family arrived at that point. How did a routine traffic stop flare into one of the worst riots in our history?

The 'Description' under Amazon's Editorial Reviews noted above is incorrect. This is not a musical but a penetrating drama of the 1960's that was a made-for-TV movie. Here is the correct product description:
A powerful, fact-based drama set against the backdrop of the Watts riots of 1965. An aspiring black journalist, Bob Richardson (Blair Underwood), works as a messenger for the Los Angeles Times. After tensions flare in Watts, violence breaks out and Richardson gets a shot at the big time, ... Read More

This is truly an amazing movie about the Watts riots in Los Angeles in 1965. It focuses on Bob Richardson, the LA Times messenger who phoned in reports from the riot scene as they happened. But it also tells the story of the people who got swept up in the violence and hate and of the innocent bystanders who were in the wrong place at the wrong time. A very accurate portrayal with amazing performances.
Rating: -
Clearly, the definitive film on one of America's most pivotal events in its long and difficult racial history. Informative yet always entertaining. Well written and well played.
