Sounder (1972)


This was a favorite book of mine when I was a kid, and I loved the movie too. I doubt I saw it more than once as a kid, though, because there were no VCR's until my late HS years. I am really, really old.

This is just awesome. It's about the son of a sharecropper and injustice and working hard to just get by versus getting ahead. The book is probably better, but the movie has Cicely Tyson. I would recommend reading the book and then watching the movie.
