Court
Streaming video - 2014
An elderly folk singer and grassroots organizer is arrested on a trumped-up charge of inciting a sewage worker to commit suicide. His trial is a ridiculous and harrowing display of institutional incompentence, with endless procedural delays, coached witnesses for the prosecution, and obsessive privileging of arcane colonial law over reason and mercy. Winner of the Luigi De Laurentiis Award and the New Horizons Award at the **Venice Film Festival** and nominated for Best New Director at the **San Francisco International Film Festival**. *This isn't your typical courtroom drama about an idealistic attorney with a savior complex per se. The film dramatizes how authorities can systematically police thought and harass radicals with bogus ch...arges."* - Martin Tsai, ***The Los Angeles Times***
