It never makes the case that a movie about Bob Zellner is intriguing let alone necessary

Flickering Myth
A movie that misses the point of what the civil rights movement was about.

For all its noble intentions ... Son of the South never quite figures out its purpose.

Mark Reviews Movies
Confrontations, riots, plus [Bob] Zellner's recollection of his own weak moments when he couldn't muster the courage to protest illuminate the historical significance of that era as well as the timeliness of the story.

Featuring Film
Executive produced by Spike Lee, Barry Alexander Brown's drama features fine performances across the board, and a vivid evocation of a tumultuous period.

Variety
Accepted on its terms, the film does a reasonably absorbing job of dramatizing how Zellner's convictions strengthened, pulling him away from the security of inaction.

Rating: D+ --
A massive failure on the part of Bob Zellner and those whose stories got weaved into this cheesy after school special. They deserved better.

Product Description:
Despite being the grandson of a Klansman, Bob Zellner (Lucas Till) believes in the surging civil rights movement. To complete a thesis on race relations, he decides to meet and interview Reverend Abernathy (Cedric the Entertainer) and Rosa Parks (Sharonne Lanier). In this little trip, he witnesses horrific acts of racism perpetuated by the police, government officials, and white citizens against black activists. This changes his outlook in life and makes him decide to join the movement for equality. This movie, based on Zellner's autobiography, is written and directed by Barry Alexander Brown.
