	news about photos trailer contact links ABOUT "The Fullness of Time" is the first-person account of Theresa Burroughs, a foot soldier on the front lines of the Civil Rights Movement. Born and raised in Greensboro, Alabama, Theresa was in her late teens when the Montgomery bus boycotts began to take shape. Soon she found herself immersed in the movement. The film offers her account of that time and her reflections on the rural origins of the Civil Rights Movement. She relates stories of jails, of marches, of fire hoses, and finally, of a visit by Dr. Martin Luther King just three weeks before his death. Using a lyrical approach that mixes Ms. Burroughs' stories with found footage and archival material, the film offers a portrait of her memories during the tumultuous struggle toward voting rights and freedom.
