Heavens Fall (2006)
Die Handlung spielt in Alabama in den 1930er Jahren. Victoria Price und Ruby Bates bezichtigen neun männliche Afroamerikaner der Vergewaltigung. Die Männer werden angeklagt. Die Jugendlichen werden jeweils zur Todesstrafe verurteilt, was den Fall in den Medien bekannt macht. Der New Yorker Anwalt Samuel Leibowitz übernimmt die Verteidigung bei der Berufung. Die Todesstrafen werden in langjährige Haftstrafen umgewandelt.
