DESCRIPTION: William Kunstler’s fingerprints are on many of the most crucial cases in American history–from fighting for civil rights with Martin Luther King Jr. t defending the Chicago Eight, from supporting the Attica prison uprising to defending the leaders of the standoff at Wounded Knee. Directed by his daughters, this film is not only a portrait of the epic battle against our government’s racism and squelching of dissent, but also a story of a lawyer who represented some of the most reviled defendants of the time–rapists, cop-killers, and terrorists–and the effect those choices had on his family. Q&A moderated by Amy Goodman.
