The film document, "Eyes on the Prize", really brought home the fact that the United States was just a couple decades ahead of South Africa in ending something so horrific. In the pieced together film clips you see many journalists in background scenes writing in reporter notebooks and taking photos of significant happenings.
The elements of journalism shined through this film document extraordinarily. Truth dominantly stood out in the relaying of history. The filmmakers did not hide the hideousness of what the whites did to the the blacks. The film was eye opening. It certainly served and still serves the citizen-viewer. It shows truth in the verification of interviews, showing both perspectives, black and white.
The film was extremely significant to our history, however horrible the acts were.
