A master of the courtroom stage, who possessed an
uncanny understanding of human character, Clarence Darrow was arguably the
greatest trial lawyer of the twentieth century. He was an adamant opponent of
capital punishment and a passionate proponent of civil and human rights. Often
called the "Attorney for the Damned," he fought for the underdog and took on
criminal cases thought to be hopeless. Yet, while commanding respect as a trial
lawyer, Darrow was often embroiled in bitter controversy for his unpopular
stands on many issues and criticized for his purported unethical professional
behavior. With Graham Thatcher as Darrow, this spellbinding and realistic
character portrait portrays his deeply held beliefs and hard fought courtroom
battles.
Replete with humor, humanity and intense courtroom drama,
the movie engages attendees in four of the great defense lawyer's most famous
cases between 1910 and 1928: Loeb and Leopold, Henry Sweet, the McNamara
Brothers bombing of the LA Times Building and the Scopes "Monkey Trial." Using
Darrow's own thoughts and courtroom summations, the movie explores timeless
social, legal and ethical issues and provides a fresh and engaging tool to
facilitate discussion of ethical behavior in and out of the courtroom.
