"'(You have) to find that part of yourself for which you can offer your life,' says a black woman speaking of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s, a time when she, like many other ordinary men and women, did the most extraordinarily heroic things. The unexpected and exhilarating effects of such a metamorphosis are discovered in You Got to Move, a documentary about changes in the South that crackles with humor and feisty revelations. You Got to Move...focuses on Highlander Center and the people who learned from it where and how to move. For 54 years, this remarkable school in the Tennessee mountains has supported social change in the South, working with labor organizers in the thirties, civil rights workers in the fifties and sixties, and now with opponents of Appalachian strip mining and toxic waste dumps.... The filmmakers, Lucy Phenix and Veronica Selver...have sketched important episodes in Highlander's long history through fascinating archival material.... But the real wonder of You Got to Move is in the personal dramas of six men and women (whose) stories, whether of teaching illiterate blacks in the South's first Freedom Schools or getting the goods on poisonous waste dumps, are funny, sad, infuriating and triumphant. They...are pungent proof that you can't fool all the people even some of the time." Kate Regan, San Francisco Chronicle
