A Lutheran minister in Omaha attempts to integrate his all-white congregation in this Oscar-nominated documentary. In cinéma-vérité style, it “captures the enduring inflexibility of traditional institutions, and the sustained struggle and personal risk involved in transforming them” (Jared Eisenstat). 35mm print from the Yale Film Archive. Co-presented with the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library as part of Yale’s celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
