Product Description
The true story of ruby bridges an african-american girl who in 1960 at age 6 helped to integrate the all-white schools of new orleans.. Studio: Buena Vista Home Video Release Date: 01/25/2005 Starring: Chaz Monet Kevin Pollack Rating: Nr

This well-conceived made-for-television Disney movie brings the pain and difficulty of desegregation to life for a generation of kids to whom the 1960s is ancient history. Young Chaz Monet plays Ruby, who in real life walked up those Southern school steps with armed guards barely shielding her from the hate-filled epithets white adults hurled at her as she single-handedly desegregated the institution. Penelope Ann Miller plays her Yankee teacher--actually a tutor, since no white kids will share her classroom. Kevin Pollak plays the psychiatrist who donates his time to help her deal with the trauma, but won't eat her mother's food. This 89-minute film offers surprisingly complex portraits of many of the adult characters and an admirably frank look at the less-than-positive reaction from her own community. Even her father (Michael Beach) waivers in resolution, especially when his white boss fires him. Superior acting, writing, and production mark this look at one of the uglier periods in American social history and the little girl who helped the country take a giant step in the right direction. Somewhat scary situations and use of racial slurs make parental guidance advisable for young children. (Ages 7 and older) --Kimberly Heinrichs

 'IN GOOD TASTE' November 16, 2008
This movie did what is called, "tell the truth", but in good taste. Why do I say that? Well it showed how people really can be, but ugly does not have to prevail. Good is a universal description.
Ruby Bridges: The Inspirational True Story October 20, 2008
An excellent true story of the first black child in an all white school in New Orleans in 1960.
The faith this young six year old student had and the compassion she showed towards those who hated her is inspirational beyond belief. A must see for everyone, especially good for families. I bought two copies, one for my family and one for our high school.
Gigantic Courage in a Pint-Sized body August 25, 2008
Ruby Bridges was only 6-years-old when she breached southern prejudice in Louisiana. Her courage and dependence on God is an inspiration to anyone facing religious or racial prejudice.
Teacher's recommendation! May 8, 2008
I show this video to my high school freshman when we work on our To Kill a Mockingbird unit. They love it and it truly shows how difficult desegregation was for the US.
I am so glad I found this video!

A good movie to understand the atmosphere in the south in the 1960s. I'd recommend you read the book, or read about Ruby's life, first. Like most Disney movies, Ruby Bridges wraps up with a nice, don't-they-all-get-along kind of ending. In reality, it was 2 years before Ruby played with any kids at the school, and her teacher was fired at the end of the year.
Also pleasing - the family's faith is portrayed accurately, and the power of Ruby's constant prayer is not edited out.
A great film for our family. Recommended!
