The Jonas Brothers

I'm Will Friedle.

And I'm Sabrina Bryan.

Guys, it's true.

Most of the DCOMs we review here on Magical Rewind involve talent agent aliens or rollerblades or talent agent aliens on rollerblades.

But every once in a while, we get a well-deserved break to watch something of actual cultural significance.

And that's where we are today.

Yeah, I mean, we've talked about this.

The other ones we've really watched kind of in this vein are Color of Friendship, Selma, Lord Selma, even Tiger Cruise, which are, you know, based on true events, but then through the lens of a child.

But this one was a little different.

This was through the lens of a child, kind of.

It was more through the eyes of the adults watching the child, which made it a little more difficult for me to watch because it was just like we were talking about.

I mean, again, Selma, Lord Selma, you're watching everything happen through her eyes, whereas this is you're kind of watching these things happen to this little girl.

And it was.

As Sabrina said, it was difficult, but it was hard.

The movie originally aired on January 18th, 1998 as part of their Wonderful World of Disney series.

And here's something we haven't seen often.

It premiered in the UK much later in 2005 as part of the Black Women Film Festival.

It is a rare occurrence when a DCOM can also be included in a film festival.

So that is very, very cool.

Also rare, the movie was filmed in Wilmington, North Carolina, which doubles as New Orleans here.
