–Comment: Several black boys and teen boys in faded bibs, also men including white men some in dark denim bibs. I haven't found teen girls in bibs like in the novels. I only have checked (many) parts of the movie as there's no quick preview window. School scene pictured at around 29 minutes. One brief scene of a white boy (Mark Keith as Jeremy in black or dark bibs at 1h25, at the beginning with a pullover (obviously bibs underneath)).
How could I miss this? I even own one of the novels.
Awarded novel by Mildred D. Taylor. Interesting 1930s Mississippi setting.I haven't found perfect scenes, and very few and brief farm work scenes only.
The only DVD I found is a documentary or interview about the books. Originally as longer 3 part mini series. Now on DVD (maybe not officially). The movie is the pilot.
Rating 4 for now but needs rechecking more carefully, especially the full version.

Update: More scenes than though. And some good scenes. Also a young boy in dark blue, maybe raw denim bibs, one boy in jeans coveralls. Now rating 5. 4 more pics
