Freedom riders

               If Hollywood were to remake the Freedom Riders documentary, I think they would butcher it. There is nothing like a primary source to describe the event in their own words. The documentary really captured the victim's emotions and struggles they faced on their freedom ride. Hollywood is all about giving the audience  what they want. Even if the movie is based on a true story, Hollywood would alter the true story, ultimately this would give the wrong story to the audience. Watching the people that were actually part of the Freedom riders was touching, it showed that they not only cared but they took action because of the persecution. The many of the participants did not care what sacrifices they had to make towards their goal, many dropped out of college and many were willing to sacrifice their physical and mental welfare for the cause.It was incredible that they signed a paper stating that they knew the ricks of going on the freedom rides. The reason I am against Hollywood making this into a movie, is because I've seen the differences between reading an article about an event compared to watching a movie based on the event. It was like two whole different stories, Hollywood drifted to far from the actual story. The freedom rider's experience is something only the people that took part of it really know, I don't think that anyone else can portray the events like they had done in the video. Movies are great but turning such a tragic and unbelievable event into a movie for profit is wrong.
