Do yourself a real favor ....... rent the movie "Moving Midway"
You'll be entertained. You'll laugh. You'll marvel at a technological feat. You'll get angry at the attitudes of an old woman's view of life. You'll learn a great deal in the process.

What is a Southern plantation? A relic of a bitter, divided past? A vanished realm of aristocratic charm and elegance? An impediment to the modern South’s frenzied effort to turn itself into an anonymous landscape of superhighways and strip malls?

Or, perhaps, all of the above, plus something else as well: a site for understanding and reconciliation, a meeting place of past and present, black and white.

A locus of home, family, enduring traditions…and new beginnings.

3. Kick for the morning crowd. This one's a keeper
A documentary and lesson some sociology.

The part at the end, where a 92 year old black man asks if it is okay for him to enter a white persons house .........

4. Why rent Midway? They show it on TV all the time
You're talking about that overblown 1970s war movie right?
