I watched this movie recently on Hallmark Channel and could not stop watching. The whole family can enjoy this over the holidays. I had to buy it!

This is a great film on many levels, from family-appeal to African-American studies. Produced by Paramount Pictures and Nasser Entertainment as a CBS-TV prime-time movie, LAST BRICKMAKER far exceeds the production standards of most releases and virtually all other TV movies. Other notable performances are delivered by Piper Laurie and Bernie Casey. Check it out!
