We have finally finished watching this! My daughter and I have been watching this in bits, but she found it upsetting hence watching it in instalments. She was encouraged to watch it by her school.
It was enlightening. I was aware of the injustice that black Americans faced in that time, but I was not aware of just how bad things could be for white people who did not conform to what the state wanted.
She will watch political things with me and now is politically aware. She blames me for this, but I suspect that she would have become like this anyway.
When I was a child, my parents exposed me to this as well. My son is aware of political issues, but being two years younger appears more interested in matters such as talking to this friends on his mobile. That may change with time.
