      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    A group of very different men Get On The Bus in Los Angeles to participate in Louis Farrakhan

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits gritty, hard-edged visuals. The stylized picture exhibits richly saturated hues that are generally well balanced. Blacks are deep and undefined. Some scenes are monochromatic, with bright yellow overtones. Overall, images are sharp, with generally good detail. Shot in Super 16, the source element is revealing of film grain throughout, though the DVD picture is undoubtedly preferred to the undefined LaserDisc picture reviewed in Issue 25. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby
