...my day was made whole after watching
American Violet today..
Synopsis stolen by www.moviefone.com ;)
"Based on real events and set in a small Texas town in the midst of the 2000 Bush/Gore Presidential election, 'AMERICAN VIOLET' tells the astonishing story of Dee Roberts (critically hailed newcomer Nicole Beharie), a 24 year old Africa-American single mother of four who is wrongfully swept up in a drug raid.
Despite the urgings of her mother (Academy Award nominee Alfre Woodard), and with her freedom and the custody of her children at stake, she chooses to fight the powerful district attorney (Academy Award nominee Michael O'Keefe) and the unyielding criminal justice system he represents. Joined in an unlikely alliance with an ACLU attorney (Tim Blake Nelson) and former local narcotics officer (Will Patton), Dee risks everything in a battle that forever changes her life, and the Texas justice system. 'AMERICAN VIOLET' also stars Emmy Award winner Charles S. Dutton and Xzibit."
So, in my efforts to make this broadcast short and sweet...make time to see this movie. It's only about an hour and a half long....and you'll walk away viewing your community differently.
until next time!
