I love it for school because it shows the process of how a case gets to the Supreme Court, and how the local, state, and federal courts work. I also love the way that it shows struggles of inter-racial marriage. Loving is PG-13 (mostly for themes and language). I believe that it can be used to teach Civil Rights or the court system. Th
