Excellent documentary! I don't know who rated this truthful and well-researched film a 6.2. Compared to many other documentaries, this film is at the top of the list. History revealed in "living color". I disagree with the other reviewer regarding the last 15 minutes of the film. Very powerful.

As a white man who can't jump I want to say that this documentary is a important piece in the history of the brutality against people of color. Although I before hand knew bits and pieces mentioned in the documentary, i.e. The Montgomery boycott, Jim Crow, these bits and pieces were nicely put into a larger picture and thus became more coherent to me.

Although I cannot be held responsible for these horrid actions against afro-americans I still feel some degree of awkwardness. But most of all I feel ashamed of being a part of mankind.

Watch it and take a moment to contemplate what you just watched.

Amazing work from PBS, all of the historians and speakers provide great context and personal stories. Really learned a lot about what Driving While Black means and how it pertains to our current society. Only critique is I wish the premise was comprised of shorter episodes similar to other documentary series and not a 2 hour movie. My recommendation watch it in two parts as the doc isn't a slog but is very rich. Left the doc with more knowledge and a question about my own entitlement.
