Review of Murder on a Sunday Morning (2001) by Robert H — 21 Jul 2014
An attorney defends an African-American fifteen-year-old accused of the murder of a white tourist.
This documentary is pretty plain-Jane. There aren't many flashy edits or creative story-telling gimmicks. And that's appropriate because the film's subject is compelling on its own. Will the accused Brandon Butler be proven innocent? What are the racial implications of this case? What are Pat McGuinness's strategies throughout the trail?
Overall, for students and critics of the American criminal justice system, this film is required viewing.
