Mobile Jewish Film Festival - Marshall

Marshall is based on an early trial of Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall. It follows the young Marshall as he defends a black chauffeur charged with sexual assault and attempted murder of his white socialite employer. Muzzled by a segregationist court, Marshall partners with
a courageous young Jewish lawyer to mount their defense in an environment of racism and Anti-Semitism. The outcome ultimately leads to Marshall’s creation of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund.
