The plot
A white journalist darkens his skin and travels through the segregated South to document the treatment of Black Americans.

James Whitmore stars in this adaptation of John Howard Griffin's book. For viewers interested in civil-rights-era drama, the film offers a challenging look at prejudice and the limits of one man's experiment.
