Frontline: Real Justice
FRONTLINE goes inside the real-life workings of America’s criminal
justice system to reveal the offers, counteroffers, deals and
compromises that keep cases moving through our crowded courts.
Brilliant verité camerawork and 2 strong central characters. This film had all the usual editing issues - which scenes to use, in what order and how long to use them for - coupled with the delicate task of creating continuity edits where no continuity existed.
Directed by Ben Gale and Leeanne Vinson, Written by Ben Loeterman
Aired on PBS November 14, 2000

“Without obtrusive narration, allowing the principles to tell their stories in their own words, Real Justice flows in a compelling stream of consciousness. The film is well-made, well-intentioned, well-balanced. Yet Real Justice is never tedious. The subject matter is high-minded and emotional. The pictures have power… Such are the dramas of Real Justice, a riveting, important film that makes all those other courtroom dramas on TV pale in comparison.” –Boston Herald
