"2004, Peter Gilbert, USA, 90 min. Directed by the producer of the acclaimed Hoop Dreams, With All Deliberate Speed finds its heroes among ordinary citizens. Gilbert tells the gripping inside story of the people who put their lives and livelihoods on the line to fight the ""separate but equal"" schools that often consisted of nothing but tarpaper shacks. Gilbert''s story comes full circle with the sobering evidence of today''s more insidious version of school segregation. Director, Peter Gilbert, is scheduled for a post-show Q & A."
