The Watsons Go to Birmingham (2013)
In de zomer van 1963 is Flint, Michigan de thuisbasis van de Watsons, een hechte familie. Wanneer de capriolen van de 15-jarige Byron over de top gaan, realiseren zijn ouders zich dat het genoeg is geweest en besluiten ze dat de familie een dosis van de no-nonsense aanpak van oma Sands in Birmingham, Alabama nodig heeft. Dus laden de Watsons hun Plymouth Brown Bomber uit 1948 en gaan naar het zuiden. Wanneer ze eindelijk in Birmingham aankomen, ontmoeten ze oma Sands en haar vriend, meneer Robert, en ontdekken ze dat het leven daar heel anders is dan in Flint. Tijdens die historische zomer raken de Watsons verstrikt in iets veel groters dan de capriolen van Byron; iets dat hun leven en land voor altijd zal veranderen.
