The Watsons Go to Birmingham
2013 · 84 MIN · IMDB 6.5 · 828 VOTES · DIR. Kenny Leon
Overview
In the Summer of 1963, Flint, Michigan is home to the Watsons, a close knit family. When 15 year-old Byron’s antics go over the top, his parents realize enough is enough and they decide the family needs a dose of Grandma Sands' no nonsense approach in Birmingham, Alabama. So the Watsons load up their 1948 Plymouth Brown Bomber and head South. When they finally make it to Birmingham, they meet Grandma Sands and her friend, Mr. Robert and discover that life is very different there than in Flint. During that historic summer, the Watsons find themselves caught up in something far bigger than Byron’s antics; something that will change their lives and country forever.

00:40:18 Wilona Sands, what is it that's bothering you?
00:43:06 Mr. Robert, where can we go to fish and swim and do something to pick up our spirits?

01:20:48 You smart enough to figure this one out for yourself.
