The plot concerns Sarny, a twelve-year-old slave girl who learns to read, and uses her knowledge to expose and undermine the plantation power structure. Performances are excellent newcomer Allison Jones is especially good as Sarny and Burnett\'s direction is honest and forthright. Although Night john has a strong pro-education message, it is conveyed with plenty of suspenseful drama. Family film making doesn\'t get better than this.
