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.

One of the best Documentary movies I have seen in a while. It's way underrated!!! I can't believe I did not it sooner.

I don't often see a modern film that I thoroughly enjoy, but this is one of the exceptions. From the start, you are immersed in the movie.

I personally loved the movie, I'm not a trekkie, far from to be honest, but this one was great!

I loved it. Jeff Adachi is great in this movie and definitely worth watching.

Can't wait to watch the film again to digest it better. Would lose if watched on DVD, without any doubt a film to be enjoyed on the big screen!

I enjoyed this movie. So did my husband, cause he didn’t fell asleep through the movie.

This movie was absolutely stunning, and I loved every minute of it
