Theyrelied on a guide called The Negro Motorist Green Book.
With a Tomatometer Score of 79 percent and an Audience Score of 86 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, "Green Book" is well worth a watch.

'Green Book' may well move you, possibly to tears, at the thought of real social change and kindness (at a time when we need it badly)."
