Disney presents the inspiring true story of one little girl whose strength and dignity during the racially charged 1960s helped change history! When bright six-year-old Ruby is chosen to be the first African-American student to integrate her local New Orleans elementary school, she is subjected to the true ugliness of racism for the very first time. But guided by the love of her mother (Lela Rochon -- WHY DO FOOLS FALL IN LOVE, WAITING TO EXHALE) and father (Michael Beach -- SOUL FOOD, TV’s THIRD WATCH), Ruby's heroic struggle for a better education becomes a lesson for us all. An acclaimed and entertaining motion picture also starring Penelope Ann Miller (THE GUN IN BETTY LOU'S HANDBAG, CARLITO'S WAY) and Kevin Pollak (THE USUAL SUSPECTS, A FEW GOOD MEN) -- you'll want to share this remarkable story of courage and pride with your family!

Summary: 'IN GOOD TASTE'
Comment: This movie did what is called, "tell the truth", but in good taste. Why do I say that? Well it showed how people really can be, but ugly does not have to prevail. Good is a universal description.

Summary: Ruby Bridges: The Inspirational True Story
Comment: An excellent true story of the first black child in an all white school in New Orleans in 1960.
The faith this young six year old student had and the compassion she showed towards those who hated her is inspirational beyond belief. A must see for everyone, especially good for families. I bought two copies, one for my family and one for our high school.

Summary: Gigantic Courage in a Pint-Sized body
Comment: Ruby Bridges was only 6-years-old when she breached southern prejudice in Louisiana. Her courage and dependence on God is an inspiration to anyone facing religious or racial prejudice.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Teacher's recommendation!
Comment: I show this video to my high school freshman when we work on our To Kill a Mockingbird unit. They love it and it truly shows how difficult desegregation was for the US.
I am so glad I found this video!

Summary: Worth watching
Comment: A good movie to understand the atmosphere in the south in the 1960s. I'd recommend you read the book, or read about Ruby's life, first. Like most Disney movies, Ruby Bridges wraps up with a nice, don't-they-all-get-along kind of ending. In reality, it was 2 years before Ruby played with any kids at the school, and her teacher was fired at the end of the year.
Also pleasing - the family's faith is portrayed accurately, and the power of Ruby's constant prayer is not edited out.
A great film for our family. Recommended!
