It may amaze many viewers that in this day and age -- particularly in this political moment -- an American high school would retain separate proms for black and white students. But such is the reality of "Prom Night in Mississippi," which scrutinizes a pint-sized town's travails when the school board finally consents to "try out" a first-ever colorblind fete. An upbeat portrait of youth anxious to shed their elders' prejudices, this inspirational Canadian-produced documentary is a perfectly timed crowdpleaser sure to score in broadcast and educational venues..---Variety
Saltzman descends on the scene to find out what students, teachers and parents are thinking as the kids finally take their friendships out of the classroom and onto the dance floor. As usual, the kids are way ahead of their elders, especially an interracial couple who discover prejudice’s unfortunate resilience and the power of their own love.Once we’re at the prom, there’s a huge emotional payoff.
Totally inspiring.
Four Stars--NOW Magazine.
It's an amazingly well made film. Beautifully shot, with a real sense of style. It has a lot of energy and heart even while dealing with such weighty matters as prejudice and race relations. You really get to know the group of students that the film focuses on, living through their day to day worries and joys. They really seem to be enjoying themselves and having a great time (and the kid with two dates to prom is hilarious). The problem has never really been the students, they're generally comfortable with people of other races. The problem was always really parents and administrators.---Word Spew
