Dandridge plays Jane Richards, a fourth-grade teacher concerned about young C.T. (Philip Hepburn), a student whose indifference to school has even the principal (screen-debuting Belafonte) calling him a backwards child. Troubles as typical as a schoolyard brawl and as tragic as a classmate's death drive C.T. further into his shell. But Jane perseveres, hoping to help her student develop - the same way a caterpillar, in a cocoon C.T. guards, turns into a butterfly. One of the few mainstream films of it's era to have a largely African-American cast, Bright Road boasts impressive talents behind the camera as well as on the screen, including director of photography Alfred Gilks, lending his first feature-length film since winning an Academy Award for An American in Paris.","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42302711005259,"sku":"WARA483084DVD","price":23.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/7223\/1499\/files\/1755296-3374335.jpg?v=1775702220","url":"https:\/\/rockbandmerch.com\/products\/bright-road-bright-road-dvd-883316483084","provider":"Rock Band Merch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
