I have chosen the movie A Time To Kill a drama/thriller movie that was released in 1996.  This movie is based on a novel by John Grishman an attorney.  It is about a little girl on her way home, who was beaten and raped by white grown men in a southern town.  Of courser we are aware of the level of racism that exists in the south.  Her father, who is crushed by this horrific incident seeks revenge and kills the men.  He is then arrested and the story now focuses on the trial of this father.

While this story is a hard to swallow and re-watch I firmly believe it highlights many areas of the law and how great a role society plays in it.
