    Another black affirmative action movie, but with a focus on CP, a local KKK leader who, after a two-week community meeting with his "nigger enemies," gave up his beliefs for most of his life and quit the KKK.

    Copyright is based on true events. Like many films I've seen before, it's about racial discrimination in America. The time is 1971. It recounts the struggle between black civil rights activist Evert and Ku Klux Klan leader Ellis. Evert is a single mother and Ellis is a gas station owner. Their lives could have been peaceful without disturbing each other. But it was because of the influence of the racist traditions of the southern United States at that time, seven years after the promulgation of the "Civil Rights Act" in the United States, they still hated each other and continued all kinds of racial disputes. In the film, after a black school was destroyed by fire, it was planned to assign black children to other schools in order to allow them to continue their education. This plan was opposed by the white people. So in order to resolve this disagreement, a two-week bilateral meeting was held, in which Evault and Ellis fought, discussed, and communicated and understood each other for the benefit of their respective groups. The ultimate winner is human nature.
