A Community Trapped in a Kafkaesque Nightmare: American Violet

Just came back from a sneak preview of the based-on-way-too-real-and-common-events film American Violet. Here's the trailer:

Like Milk, it's the kind of film where you leave the theatre wanting to march in the streets.

Labels: cwa, movies, prisons, race and racism

This movie looks amazing! There's so many clips on the website, it looks so good!

PBS has a documentary about the original story, and they have the whole thing available online: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/plea/view/

Thanks for sharing!
