While this is an informative show. It nothing but a very long lecture with pictures. Would be better told with re-enactments and testimonies from those who knew her. In lieu of that just to hear some other people talk about her would be nice. Gets really old listening to just one person.

fancy lecture
Can't hear it
Sound mix is terrible. Can't hear the story. Whoever made it never actually watched it. I notice this a lot now. Music while people are speaking. If you're hard of hearing which I am not I can imagine how they watch anything.
Fantastic documentary, needs to be re-cut with new sound mixing.
This was a fantastic documentary about Bessie Coleman. It covers her early life and her drive to become a pilot, as well as a lot of great information about late 1800's and early 1900's American history. Very informative and catching.
The movie seems to have been made on a low budget and doesn't suffer at all for it - EXCEPT - that the sound mix really needs to be re-done. At times, background songs have vocals competing with the words being spoken by the host. At other times it's instrumental but is mixed louder than the host's voice. All of this makes it very challenging to hear the awesome information being presented.
10 stars for the film, minus a few for how hard it really is to hear. Please re-release with new sound!
