'Gospel Hill' opens up Hollywood Black Film Festival
Gospel Hill, which made its debut last summer during the Democratic National Convention, is opening the Hollywood Black Film Festival today.
The movie includes an eclectic source of music, including gospel, as the backdrop for a story about racial tension in a southern town.
The movie is set during the Civil Rights era, where the church, choir and negro spirituals are part of the empowerment movement.
"Woke Up This Morning With My Mind Stayed on Jesus" is one of the gospel songs in the independent film, which stars Samuel Jackson, Angela Bassett, Danny Glover, Giancarlo Esposito, Nia Long, Adam Baldwn and Taylor Kitsh.

Although, I personally am so far to the left, that even the even the democrats appear to me to be "right-wing," I consider myself to be a strict constitutionalist. It is my opinion that since its inception there has been an organized and systematic assault by the conservatives in the United States on the civil liberties written into the US Constitution. The “War on Drugs”; “War on Terror”; “War on Communism” and a host of other wars waged by the right wing are really nothing more than a War on People--an excuse to erode civil rights to the point of non-existence. I invite you to my website devoted to raising awareness on this puritan attack on freedom: http://freethegods.blogspot.com/
