I LMAO at Whoopi's glasses.

Also, I'm waiting for Forrest Whitaker and DFD. Since it's set in Bogalusa.


Forest Whitaker, Jonathan Silverman and Ossie Davis star in this original drama, the true story of brave African-American men from Bogalusa, Louisiana who armed themselves to fight against the KKK, taking a more militant stance than most activists during the Civil Rights movement of the 1960's. Paul Benjamin costars in this film about a lost chapter in U.S. history from director Bill Duke ("Sister Act 2," "A Rage in Harlem").
