A História de Ruby Bridges
Director of Photography
New Orleans, 1960: embora o governo federal garantisse o acesso dos negros às escolas de brancos, a realidade local era outra. Ruby Bridges, uma menina de 6 anos, se destaca intelectualmente e por isso uma associação procura os Bridges para que ela seja uma das primeiras crianças negras a estudar numa tradicional escola de brancos. Mesmo receosos, os pais autorizam, mas agentes federais a acompanham, pois os protestos eram diários e o preconceito estava até na escola. Sua sorte foi ter encontrado uma professora que a protegia.
