The key themes of this story that can be used as teaching moments are that God has a plan for us, and that we are all equal to him Set in a time of history where Richard Kelly is used to segregation, he has two choices: go to jail or join an all-white seminary. Forgoing jail, his friends turn on him and his new classmates are hesitant to accept him as well. Race is a key theme throughout, but when an unexpected friend comes alongside to help him with his goals, Richard sees the way to success and works hard for his goals.
Overall, it was a pretty slow and boring movie and i’m not sure how clear the main themes came through. I don’t think I’d recommend it to others.
