This 1973 television movie about 110 years of American history as seen through the eyes of a black woman from Louisiana (Cicely Tyson) is a terrific achievement, a window onto racism from the Civil War to the Civil Rights Movement. Tyson gives a career performance as the title character, whose personal life is inextricably woven into the fabric of the African American struggle for equality. A mixture of the sentimental and the unflinching, this is the kind of educational experience that fully engages a viewer. --Tom Keogh

This story is as told by Cicely Tyson who plays Miss. Jane. This movie starts out with Tycie, who later changes her name to Jane because of a soldier who told her Tycie sounded like a slave's name. This begins a story in the 1850's to the civil rights movement in the 1960's. Told by Jane at the age of 110 years old (played by Tyson). Following her life as a child slave, to where Jane gets married and is a free woman. Cicely Tyson is at her best in this movie. This movie will touch your heart. I highly recommend this movie to anyone. Thanks for finally putting this on DVD.

K. So, the movie was actually pretty cool. It was one of those movies where the person is tellin a story about their life & while they're tellin you, it actually shows you what happens instead of having to try & picture it yourself. The old lady was funny too which made it fun to watch. I really liked how all the actors were really good ones. I would recommend this movie to anyone & everyone. It's a REALLY good movie about slavery & how blacks were treated & I almost cried twice. WATCH THE MOVIE, HOMIES! The old lady is pretty cool. She did something really awesome at the end that made me say "Oh snap!". Oh, & she lived to be 110! :D
