Dare Not Walk Alone is an award-winning feature-length documentary created by Jeremy Dean. a twenty-something director and former student of Flagler College, St. Augustine, Florida. The film mixes rare news footage from 1964 with present day testimony to document the untold story of a war of wills and ideals waged not in Alabama or Georgia or Mississippi but Florida. Before Disneyworld, the biggest tourist attraction in Florida was St. Augustine (MAKE THIS BOLD), and this is where African-Americans and their allies in the white community put their lives on the line to force the passage of the first civil rights act. Set to a soundtrack that flows from gospel to hip hop, the film places the heroic sacrifices of the past in the context of present day struggles in a community that epitomizes what Senator Barack Obama has called "the gap between the promise of our ideals and the reality of their time." 2008/ 83mins/ NR
