Synopsis by Maggie Sadler

Documentary filmmaker Nadia Hallgren takes a deep dive into the work of noteworthy civil defense attorney Benjamin Crump, who notably shouldered challenging cases on behalf of the families of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, two Black Americans who lost their lives due to police brutality. Also a tireless advocate for Black farmers and victims of a banking scandal, Crump parses the American legal system and its injustices against people of color, striving to uphold civil liberties for the future of Black America.
