I wouldn't walk across the street to spit on Jane Fonda if she was burning to death, but the movie has much bigger problems than just her. He was born in Virginia, not Georgia. He never witnessed a lynching. His mother wasn't raped by an overseer. His father wasn't shot for looking upset about the rape. His son did serve in Vietnam but was not killed there. His son was not a civil rights activist and never participated in the Freedom Rides. His wife wasn't a philandering alcoholic. Other than that, the picture is based on the truth.
Yeah, I won't be watching it either.
It's a movie full of people on the political left tellingly lies to each other? Shocking! Lol
