The Least Among You [DVD]

The least Among You is a movie based on true historical events that took place in the 1960’s Watts Riots.

The main character Richard Kelly, (Cedric Sanders) agrees in a plea bargain to go to seminary after being charged for attacking a police officer. At seminary he meets a garden keeper (Louis Gossett Jr) who helps him find his way during his ordeal. At this all white seminary Richard Kelly is recruited by the seminar’s president as a face for face and integration.

The movie has a compelling story and although it is not a Hollywood blockbuster it’s an indie movie that caries a positive message and was portrayed beautifully. I enjoyed Louis Gossett Jr showing a gentle side of his acting playing as a spiritually sound garden gatekeeper.

Although I liked the way the story there are some scenes that played rather amateur or under rehearsed and a few scenes lacked information leaving some loose ends…

I personally like movies that are based on true stories and I’m glad I watch The least Among You
