Last year this time I saw the EXCELLENT Freeom Riders at the Maryland Film Festival. I thought it seemed like an interesting film since I like seeing African American based films. When I saw it I had no idea I would have such a reaction and had to write about it. After screening around the country the doc is now premiering on PBS stations around the country as part of their American Experience program. American Experience airs documentaries about important or interesting events and people in American history.
