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.
We only rented it because we love Jeff Adachi. Turns out it was a really good movie.
Jeff Adachi is great in roles like these, but the entire cast was as good as he was and the movie kept us on the edge of our seats the whole time.
This film really is everything the critics have been saying. Stupendous, visually spellbinding, brilliantly acted and very funny.
Excellent Atmospheric Documentary! I was satisfied with the movie and would recommend it to all!
I really enjoyed this movie. This movie is worth watching.
I can honestly admit that it was better than I was originally expecting!
I can say, that it was the best movie I have ever seen. Once the movie began I didn't want the end.
Didnt think I would like it but i was wrong. It is a Great movie!
Excellent gritty film that concentrates on a few strong performances! Jeff Adachi!!!! that amazing man deserves to be on the top notch productions and here he is, one brilliant movie after another and on key roles. Michael Smith is another artist who takes you into the story. WONDERFUL!!
This is epic! First of all Jeff Adachi. Tone of his voice, the way he using the words and emotions, his facial expressions... He is pure talent and deep experience! Michael Smith Jus GODDESS!
