In February, 1962, as the civil rights movement reaches Bayonne, Louisiana, a New York journalist arrives to interview Jane Pittman, who has just turned 110. She tells him her story dating back to her earliest memories before slavery ended. In between the chapters of her life, the present-day struggles of Blacks in Bayonne, urged on by Jimmy, are dramatized.

The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman Ratings & Reviews

  • nsmith14February 26, 2025
    I appreciated this movie much more, I think, than I did when I first saw it in the 1970s. Maybe it's because I'm older and can appreciate the history and the incredible meaning the film offers in it's definition of freedom.
