Heavens Fall (2 Stars)


A courtroom drama based on the conviction of nine black men for rape in Alabama in 1931. This was a controversial case for many years, but the film lacks depth. It had critical acclaim and won a few awards, but I suspect that this was due to sympathy for the plight of the defendants rather than objective judgement of the film itself.
