Product Review

When a white woman is brutally raped and stabbed by an unknown black assailant on a southern military base, Marine Corporal Lindsey Scott (Richard Yearwood - Down on the Delta), the only African American on the base, becomes the prime suspect. Despite the overall lack of evidence against him, Scott's hopes fade as he confers with the ill-prepared, incompetent military defense attorney assigned to his case.

In desperation, he contacts civil rights activist Lori Jackson (Lynn Whitfield - Eve's Bayou, The Josephine Baker Story). Having no legal training and little time to prepare a case, Jackson is unable to prevent Scott from being found guilty.

Still, Jackson refuses to give up the fight. Summoning all of her strength and courage, she galvanized the media and the legal community to come to the defense of one lone soldier whom the military justice system has abandoned.

Though this case (based on actual events) exacted a heavy toll on her, Lori Jackson, who had witnessed the evils of injustice since childhood, believed that the fight for truth was the only thing that mattered.
