Set in Atlanta, Georgia. This is probably one of my favorite TV movies. It's about a black family who is not very wealthy living near a very rich older white woman. Every day the young boy would walk to the school bus and the old white woman's dog would tug at the boys legs and this scared the boy badly. One day, while he and his father were out hunting for small animals, the boy takes the dog and captures him in one of the hunting boxes. Later that night it begins to rain and the dog causes the box to fall over and he drowns to death. The old woman's family is furious about this and orders the black family beat the boy for his wrong doing. When the father refuses calling it an accident the family leaves in a rage. The old white woman begins to hang out with the young black boy after realizing that her dog really was mean to the boy. They become one another's only friends. In the end, the boy has to move away because of such racism and hatred going on. He says goodbye to the woman and
