Rating: 3/4 --
Though it can't quite transcend its filmmaker's earnest intentions, this solemn history lesson offers several powerful moments.

Rating: 3/4 --
The acting, like the storytelling, is quietly convincing.
Charlotte Observer
Rating: 2.5/4 --
If this were a 1970s TV movie, it probably would have won a boatload of Emmys. Now, it lacks impact, although parents or grandparents worried their children don't appreciate the sacrifices of decades past might want to use it as a teaching tool.

Rating: C- --
If you can get past its moribund title, you'll still have a challenge in spotting the protagonist in this oddly washed-out depiction of a racial battle that raged in Oxford, North Carolina...

What the film lacks in psychological nuance it makes up for in unassuming, intimate social observation.
New York Times
Rating: 2/5 --
You can't deny the inspirational qualities of the story or Parker's screen presence, any more than you could accuse the film of subtlety or of masking its conspicuous pro-Christian agenda.

Product Description:
Author Timothy Tyson's acclaimed novel is adapted for the screen in this sweeping civil rights drama from director Jeb Stuart. Set in Oxford, NC, in the 1970s, BLOOD DONE SIGN MY NAME tells the tale of Civil Rights leader Dr. Ben Chavis (Nate Parker), who played a pivotal role in desegregating North Carolina's public school system, and who would go on to become the youngest-ever executive director and CEO of the NAACP. The film centers on the racial tensions that flared after a white father and son were charged with murdering a black man, and were subsequently acquitted of the crime despite the fact that it took place in full view of the public.
