Good underdog story

A typical story in which underdogs with a vision and courage do something beneficial in spite of opposition from both friends and the establishment. If you liked "Race the Sun" or "Kuffs" you will like this one.

The Spark that lit the Fire of Change

This film is a better than average retelling of history. A true story respectfully told. Very well acted with a good screenplay and great cinematography. Kudos to Hallmark and the director for a job well done. When I read or watched some of the historical background stories on this event it amazed me how corrupt the Democrats were even way back then. Thank God for decent folks with courage to stand up to it and bring change when and where it is needed. 7.2/10.

Veterans return home after world war II and find their town is ruled by corrupt politicians...

This is really a review of some of the other reviews...This movie is based on actual historical events that happened in Tennessee in 1946...It might be sappy or banally written, but it is taken from actual history...Of course creative license is taken with the story, but basically it is a true story. If you want action and adventure with award winning kudos, this may not be for you...But if you are interested in what actually happened/happens in our history, this is a good story. I really enjoyed it myself..I was going to provide a link to more historical information about the actual incident, but this software won't accept the link...It say's the spelling is wrong....So, just use your search engine and search for "Battle of Athens"...It actually happened in 1946 in the state of Tennessee...I hope you enjoy the movie and find the information interesting.
