Event Details
Whether it's a question of guilt or innocence, an unlikely defense or prosecution, or railing against injustice, courtroom dramas have endured as entertainment in every storytelling medium. In film, the courtroom drama has produced not only memorable performances and scenes, but also some of the greatest speeches ever put to screen.
On this night, we will be watching Robert Mulligan's 1962 film "To Kill a Mockingbird" starring Gregory Peck, Mary Badham, and Phillip Alford.
A widowed lawyer in Depression-era Alabama defends a black man against a false rape charge while teaching his young children about the sad reality of prejudice.
