Details

• Release Year: 1990
• Genre: Action, Drama
• Plot: 'Situation out of control here!'; As the Watts riots erupted one steamy night in 1965, the Los Angeles Times sent its reporters to the scene - white men who, soon after they arrived, had to run for their lives. Then Bob Richardson, a young African-American messenger for the paper, volunteered to cover the story alone. He braved fire, fury, bullets and death to report the courage and cowardice, injustice and hate that engulfed the streets. And his brilliant work helped earn the Times a Pulitzer Prize for its coverage of the uprising.; ; Blair Underwood, Cicely Tyson and James Earl Jones (in an Emmy*-winning performance*) lead an outstanding cast in this dynamic true story of America on the brink of racial meltdown and of citizens - black and white - who refused to allow violence to conquer hope.
