Review of American Violet (2008) by Kodog O — 19 Jan 2011
Based on a true story and featuring a handful of terrific performances, it's a shame this indie film didn't get more play.
A falsely accused African-American is railroaded by a corrupt D.A. in Harmon County, TX, and jailed for selling drugs in a school zone. It is only when the ACLU sends a few attorney's, who team with a local attorney, that the woman gets the representation she needs to fight the powers that be and not knuckle under to a plea agreement.
Find performances by all involved including a ball-of-fire Michael O'Keefe as the corrupt D.A.
