American Violet
Falsely accused of distributing narcotics in a school zone, Dee Roberts (impressive, relative new-comer Nicole Beharie) is offered a deal she can't refuse: plead guilty and accept a 10 year suspended sentence, otherwise risk 16 to 25 years in jail. But Dee will fight for the truth, suing the DA for racial discrimination and battling impossible odds in a case that will not only change her life but the laws of Texas as well. A true story co-starring Tim Blake Nelson, Charles S Dutton and Alfre Woodard.
