"I have nothing against these people....but..."
"All the Way Home" is a short film about race...something unusual for 1957. The story begins with a man putting his home up for sale in an all-white neighborhood. Some of the people looking at buying the place are black...and soon there is a huge backlash in the community against black people moving into their neighborhood.
I appreciated this film for many reasons. For a low budget film, the acting and production values are very good. Also, the film doesn't offer pat solutions and in the end, the problem hasn't been miraculously solved. It also provides MUCH in the way of discussion material. A very thought-provoking and sad little film....and one that shows us that perhaps we haven't changed quite as much as we need to.
