Some of Wise's sequences rely on what are apparently family relations between people in the various shots, but just how they are related is distractingly unclear. In several cases where the direction of the sequence is intentionally left uncertain the effect is confusion rather than ambiguity.

What will eventually grow out of this alliance is also unclear, but certainly, the goals and hopes are high. As Angela Davis told the group that gathered in Martin King's old church in Atlanta when the alliance was announced: "The fight to free Emily Butler is a fight to form a society in which we ourselves are at the helm...
