Separate But Equal Blu-ray out May 7

Separate But Equal, an evocative legal drama directed by George Stevens, Jr., arrives on Blu-ray through Australia's Via Vision Entertainment. Scheduled for release on May 7, this poignant yet engaging portrayal sheds light on the landmark Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision of 1954. Featuring Oscar-winning Sidney Poitier in one of his most commanding roles, the film presents the monumental fight for civil rights that took root in small-town South Carolina.

In this historical narrative, Burt Lancaster delivers a memorable performance as the iconic attorney John W. Davis in his final role, adding depth to the engrossing plotline. The star-studded cast also includes Richard Kiley, Cleavon Little, and Gloria Foster whose performances further amplify the compelling story.

The Blu-ray release promises to offer added value with intriguing special features that complement the main film. One of the highlights is the CBS News Special See It Now: A Study of Two Cities hosted by Edward R. Murrow, which provides invaluable insight into the social backdrop of the era.
