Summary:
The tragic true story of the Scottsboro Boys, nine young black men who were pulled off an Alabama freight train and accused of raping two young white women, quickly tried, and sentenced to the electric chair. New York attorney Sam Leibowitz traveled to Alabama in 1933 to defend the nine young men, setting in motion a legal battle that ultimately changed the lives of everyone involved as well as the course of American jurisprudence.
