The Long Walk Home plot

"A story of an incredible friendship."

Montgomery, Alabama 1955. Miriam Thompson is upscale. She fills her life with parties, lunches and bridge parties and finds it normal to be served. The black Odessa Cotter also knows her place, both with the Thompsons and in society: she is a housekeeper, proud, intelligent, but resigned to her lot as a servant. This orderly life is suddenly turned upside down by the bus boycott, in which the blacks demand the right to choose their seats on the city buses. Miriam doesn't notice much at first, because Odessa walks the road every day for fear of losing her job. Until Odessa's health starts to suffer and Miriam feels obliged to pick her up by car.
