Ain't Nobody
Going From 'Nobody' To Somebody In The 1960's South
Based on the true story !
Singing the gospel song, 'Ain't Nobody, Ain't Nobody Gonna Turn Me 'Round', a group of marchers defied authority as they marched over the Edmund Pettus Bridge. Demanding their right to vote, they peacefully marched into an army of state police waiting for them on the other side of the arched bridgeway. This film captures the emotions and hopes of those who had just experienced Bloody Sunday only a few days earlier. Responding to voter rolls that were only 1% black and 99% white, they were determined to show that they too were 'somebody'.
Fast paced, it is the story of how these indivdiuals went from being a 'nobody' to being a 'somebody' in 1960's America. Based on the true story of a white Civil Rights worker, this film shows the stark contrasts of America's South as the rest of the nation looked on. It is a story of struggle and triumph.
Ribbon Creek

The Marine Corps and everything it stood for went on trial one day in the 1950's South as a Drill Instructor by the name of Matthew McKeon came under fire for his treatment of recruits. Top brass testified and the nation looked on as one of the most pivitol moments in the history of corps unfolded. This tense drama of that fateful night - and the trial that ensued, brings to life the gripping story of tragedy, redemption and forgiveness.
