The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman

This award-winning film, based on the book of the same name, follows the story of a 110-year-old black woman's life, from her childhood as a slave in the pre-Civil War South to the Civil Rights movement of the early 1960s. Cicely Tyson stars in her most-remembered role alongside Barbara Chaney and Richard Dysart in a film that captures how far Civil Rights have come — and how hard people have had to fight for them.

In this DVD edition, the made for TV movie — which won nine Emmys, including two for Tyson's stunning portrayal of the main character — is now available in a higher-resolution format, perfect for sharing this inspiring story with a new generation.

Description

"This 1973 television movie about 110 years of American history as seen through the eyes of a black woman from Louisiana (Cicely Tyson) is a terrific achievement, a window onto racism from the Civil War to the Civil Rights Movement. Tyson gives a career performance as the title character, whose personal life is inextricably woven into the fabric of the African American struggle for equality. A mixture of the sentimental and the unflinching, this is the kind of educational experience that fully engages a viewer." — Tom Keogh, Amazon.com Reviews
