The Least Among You

“The Least Among You” is production of Lionsgate and presented by Witenuckle LLC & Rough Diamond Productions, based on a true story. The story follows Richard Kelly, an African American man jailed in the 1965 Watts Riots. Kelly is put on a years probation and forced to attend an all White seminary as an alternative to jail.

Given the time and place the movie is set in, the story began with a lot of racial tension. Kelly eventually finds comfort in a friendship with the seminaries grounds-keeper, his roommate, and a the only female staff member. Kelly continually battles for what is right, and is met with many challenges along the way.

The story line was pretty good. The only thing I really didn't like was that in some parts it drug out. It took awhile to get to a lot of plot points.

Being a Christian movie I wasn't expecting to see a lot of the big name actors that I did. The movie has Louis Gossett, Jr., Lauren Holly, William Devane and Cedric Sanders in it

Overall, I would recommend The Least Among You as the story is good.
