Review of American Violet (2008) by Bas V — 18 Jan 2010
Another movie in the tradition of Erin Brockovich or Silkwood, this time about a young black mother wrongfully arrested by a racist Texas DA and pressured to plead to a crime she didn't commit, and the ACLU lawyers who get her off.
Good rabble rousing stuff, based on a true story. A little preachy in parts, but genuinely moving.
