In 1931, two white women stepped from a box car in Paint Rock, Alabama to make a shocking accusation: they had been raped by nine black teenagers on the train. So began one of the most significant legal fights of the twentieth century. The trial of the nine falsely accused teens would draw North and South into their sharpest conflict since the Civil War, yield two momentous Supreme Court decisions and give birth to the Civil Rights Movement. In addition to its historical significance, the Scottsboro story is a riveting drama about the struggles of nine innocent young men for their lives and a cautionary tale about using human beings as fodder for political causes.

  • Unbelivable that the fat bitch Victoria Price got money out of this tragedy, while the real victims and their families only got their lives fucked up, no compensation no nothing! FUCK the US and their piggotry! I feel so sorry for the innocent kids

  • That Vicoria Bitch irritates the Hell out of me,,, She later acts all innocent. but she had a big mouth in court.

  • So the Jews stood behind the communist upprise in the US also,...i can see why the American goverment where afraid of the Communists. They would have broken the Cappitalist agenda.
