President and the First Lady hosted the Tuskegee Airmen along with cast and crew members of the movie Red Tails for a screening at the White House.
Said one movie goer of the advanced screening, "The movie is intriguing and has edge-of-your-seat action. It's well done, and certainly worth seeing."
The movie was fronted and produced by George Lucas, who described Red Tails as being "close to 'Star Wars: Episode 7' as you could get."
Lucas faced many challenges to get the movie made due to most major studios not wanting to take on a big budget risk with an almost entirely African American cast. He spent $100 million of his own money.
Red Tails, which Lucas referred to as "an old fashioned film", is in theatres January 20th.
