The amazing true story of one white Southern woman’s courage to choose her convictions and join the Civil Rights Movement. By the time she was 19, Joan Trumpauer was shot at, attacked, and put on death row but that’s just the beginning of her remarkable journey to help change the world. Heralded as an unsung hero but disowned by her family, Joan takes us on an incredible journey of her life in the Civil Rights Movement and the power of the human spirit to persevere against the world. Shot over the course of a year in six states, ‘An Ordinary Hero’ is the only complete story of Joan Trumpauer and includes interviews with scholars, authors, journalists and those who fought along side this courageous woman.
Reviews:
“I saw this documentary for the first time at Doc Utah last September. When I heard that a local film-maker had made a film about his mother’s role in the Civil Rights movement, I figured it would be of limited production values, and be over-the-top in glorifying his mother.
I was completely wrong on both counts.
This film offers a very interesting and emotional recounting of Joan Mulholland’s participation in the “freedom Rider’s” movement, the lunch counter sit-ins, and other important and history-altering events in 1960s Mississippi. The film flows easily from one event to the next, with very coherent interviews with important participants in these events, offering a variety of perspectives. I walked out of that first showing amazed at how much I didn’t know about these events, and with a deep appreciation to Loki Mulholland for capturing his mother and the other witnesses on film telling their stories.
The film is very suitable for pre-teens and older, who as a result of watching this documentary will feel that they too can change the world.” Written by bhstuy via IMDb.com

Thank you so much. This is absolutely amazing. What a courageous and selfless woman.
Thank you for taking a stand against inequality.
Joan is indeed a hero! I am thankful that I saw this on YouTube and am watching now. I was born in 1950, so when the racial riots and other related things began in the 60’s, I wondered "why" one race was persecuted. In my eyes we are ALL children of the Most High God! We are all someone Jesus died for. What the "white" people did was demonic. They were possessed by the devil! A TRUE HERO!
This was very moving, thank you Joan
What an inspiring documentary what selfless love true love of mankind
Thank you Joan
God bless you
Would so much love to meet you incredible woman
Sending you a really big HUG of love and gratitude
I’m indebted to Joan for all she did to support the Civil Rights Movement. A Christian who really believed in her values of life and enacted upon them.
I don’t see this as a Christian movie…which is why I was watching it. I don’t hear her speaking about doing it for God…I see her as a rebel, going against her parents, and wanting attention. It didn’t mention her ever getting married, so why/how did she have so many children? She did this as a, "right-fighter"…not as a Christian. God mercifully gave her His grace in her not getting killed, but I didn’t hear her thanking Hiim for that, either. Take this off the list of Bible movies, please. It has nothing to do with the Bible.
No I look to God with it all there’s no reason to bring any of that stuff up anymore because all they do is hate on people now I wasn’t the one that hated them and that’s all I get from them
I grew up in hinds county. 1973 Marshall Place Jackson, Ms. went to French Elementary and Hardy Jr High. Left in early 70’s. Never knew any of this.
A brave woman standing on what she believed is right. God does not know color. Just by the blood of Jesus died for ll.
Ms. Joan, God bless you, and thank you! "If you have not loved you have nothing ‘
This should have been in my History Class!!!
Excellent Detailed Documentary!!!
Thank you.
This was deeply moving and I appreciate the eye opening experiences shared! It is very inspiring!
Great video! Thank you for sharing this important amazing story!
Awesome movie. You’re a hero and angel of God ❤
A part of history. I was unaware about Joan or the man from Pakistan.
God bless this lady and all who suffered and died. No greater love said Jesus. ❤
I grew up in Southern Texas. I was 2nd grade and the two segregated schools were joined together. I was excited, I was going to have new friends. I sure did. Friends for a lifetime. I’m now 61.
This was excellent. Joan was not someone I was familiar with from this time in history. I am glad to have learned her story and to have gained more insight into the minds of the workers who fought so determinedly for equality. Thank you for this exceptional documentary.
What A Kind Lovely Mature Lady! ❤
As a Jew I can relate to the fight for civil rights that Black Americans fought and many of my ppl helped them in their fight because we also have suffered intense discrimination as well as enslavement and many attempts at our extermination for thousands of years
so well done, thank-you.
Standing for true Christianity!
