67 YEARS SINCE ROBINSON BROKE BASEBALL'S COLOUR BARRIER...

In honour of today's 67th anniversary of Jackie Robinson's first game in the Major Leagues, here are a few excellent recent films that document the struggle on the road to Black Equality:


42: The Jackie Robinson Story is an excellent biopic starring Chadwick Boseman and Harrison Ford, available at both stores.

12 Years A Slave: Best Picture winning true story of slave Solomon Northup's struggle to survive and overcome slavery.

The Butler: The true story of Eugene Allen's journey from child of sharecroppers to a 34 year tenure as a White House Butler, where he witnesses, first hand, the evolution of Civil Rights in the U.S.

Mandela: The Long Walk to Freedom is based on Nelson Mandela's autobiography about his early life, education and 27 years as prisoner on Robben Island for traveling without a passport and sabotage.

Who says entertainment can't be educational?

Rent one or all of these great films today!
