ABOUT THE FILM, TRIUMPH Tampa’s Untold Chapter in the Civil Rights Movement

Set in 1960s Florida, this powerful documentary uncovers a hidden chapter of the Civil Rights Movement. A courageous group of Black high school students organized peaceful sit-ins at a downtown lunch counter, sparking a wave of change across the city. Their actions grew into a movement that opened restaurants, theaters, pools, and beaches to all. Through firsthand accounts and historical footage, the film brings to life the voices of ordinary people who transformed their community—and helped reshape a nation.
