La lunga strada verso casa (1990)
Siamo nella metà degli anni Cinquanta nello Stato dell'Alabama. Odessa è una donna di colore, orgogliosa della sua razza e decisa a far valere i propri diritti. Così, visto che sui mezzi di trasporto pubblici non è consentito a una persona di colore scegliersi un posto, torna a casa a piedi. Miriam, la sua padrona, è molto comprensiva e non ha problemi a dibattere il problema col marito razzista.
