Defender

Adachi represents a young African American man who is charged with assaulting police officers after being falsely accused of a crime in a case with racial overtones. In this era of mass incarceration and police shootings of young African American men, how do we, as a society, grapple with the issues of racism and implicit bias in policing and its consequences for those who question police authority? The film also follows the Public Defender's public battle to allow his office to represent immigrants in deportation proceedings in post-Trump America. Over 1,000 immigrants in the San Francisco immigration court are detained without lawyers; Adachi and other city leaders mobilize the community to support an initiative to provide public defenders to poor immigrants and their families.

Fantastic and refreshing. Highly recommend.

The best movie I've seen in a long long time. Beautifully written and executed. Seriously. Amazing.

Loved this movie. I was not sure at first, but it turned out to be awesome!

I'm sure as hell glad I saw this movie! Definitely surprised me!

This is one rocking movie and Michael Smith once again proves why he's the best man for the job.

One of the best movies I have ever seen. Written well, directed well and told well. Thank you for sharing this with the world.

OH MY GOD. I loved this movie. I've never liked the show, but I LOVE this movie. The actors (mainly Michael Smith and Jeff Adachi) are attractive, but they are also good actors, good for the roles they play. The plot is good, and it's interesting. it's amazing!

I am glad I watched this movie.

Very good movie we enjoyed!

This was a good movie. I like most Jeff Adachi movies and this was interesting from beginning to end.
