Nine from Little Rock
US (1964): Documentary/Short
This film profiles the lives of the nine African American students who integrated Central High in Little Rock, Arkansas, during the fall of 1957. The events that transpired that year, including the students' escort by armed troops, are seen through the eyes of Jefferson Thomas. Seven years after their historic achievement, Thomas and his fellow students also relate their impressions of both past and present discrimination, and their hopes for the future. (Guggenheim Prods.)
