Marshall

Slovenski opis filma:

Zgodba o prihodnjem prvem ameriškem temnopoltem vrhovnem sodniku Thurgoodu Marshallu (Chadwick Boseman), ki je leta 1941 branil črnskega šoferja med obtožbo posilstva in poskusa umora premožne delodajalke.Leta 1941 se ZDA znajdejo na robu druge svetovne vojne in skoraj bankrotirana organizacija za pravice temnopoltih NAACP zadolži svojega edinega odvetnika, 32-letnega Thurgooda Marshalla (Chadwick Boseman), da v konservativnem Connecticutu pravno zastopa črnskega šoferja, obtoženega posilstva in poskusa umora premožne delodajalke. Sojenje kmalu postane predmet naslovnic tabloidov. Marshallu, ki si prizadeva za zmago, vendar ga sodišče pri tem ovira na vsakem koraku, se pridruži mladi judovski odvetnik Samuel Friedman, ki še nikoli ni sodeloval pri takem primeru. Moža se zoperstavljata sovražnemu toku strahu in predsodkov, da bi odkrila resnico. Senzacionalistični proces je bil osnova za prihodnjo kariero moža, ki je nazadnje postal prvi ameriški temnopolti vrhovni sodnik.

Originalni opis filma:

In 1940, Thurgood Marshall is a young lawyer for the NAACP who criss-crosses the country defending innocent African-Americans from unjust indictments in court. His latest case is in Bridgeport, Connecticut where an African-American chauffeur is accused of rape of a wealthy white society woman. To admit Marshall into the local Bar, insurance lawyer Sam Friedman is picked over his objections to do introductions in court. However, Friedman's commitment changes drastically when the racist judge forbids Marshall to speak in court, forcing Friedman to act as lead counsel. Now in an intolerable situation for the pair, Marshall must guide his new compatriot through this criminal trial even as Friedman endures not only this unfamiliar area of law, but also the bigoted pressure he now must share. However, the case proves more complex than either anticipates with unexpected twists and turns even as it becomes a vital one that would define two careers as well as the fight for justice in America.
