Description:

The film delves into the complexities of a legal battle set against the backdrop of early 1960s Mississippi, a place steeped in tension between races and deeply entrenched prejudice. The story follows a dedicated district attorney as he tackles an emotionally charged case - seeking justice for Medgar Evers, a civil rights leader tragically murdered in cold blood by a white supremacist. Alongside him is the courageous widow of Evers, who, despite her personal loss, finds the strength to stand up against a seemingly insurmountable system. Together, they face numerous challenges as they attempt to navigate the intricacies of a judicial process that often feels rigged against them. This powerful story highlights themes of resilience, determination and the enduring fight for equality amidst adversity.
