Review of Uncommon Courage: The Viola Liuzzo story

The Viola Liuzzo story is a portrait of the only pro-ported white woman killed in the civil rights movement, told through a biographer, her friends and others who were present during the 1965 Selma civil rights marches. There's a lot of music in this hour, music that adds editorial comment that is unnecessary and adds a note of treacle to the entire hour, but doesn't manage to dull a compelling story of how far one individual will go to defends the rights of others.
