John Williams (Courtney B. Vance) is an African-American attorney remembering one of his earliest and most personal cases -- in 1957, his own teenage nephew, Charlie (Garland Whitt), was charged with the murder of a white student. Charlie admits he committed the crime, but John believes the police bullied him into confessing. Charlie insists he is guilty, and the outraged public is more than ready to see the boy punished. Still, John believes Charlie is innocent and defends him in court.

07/29/2022 The greatest 01 hour: and 57 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!! Ages 17 and older!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more 07/11/2019 Amazing tryst of fate ... riveting acting ... never see it coming! See more 11/27/2013 At times "Blind Faith" has the noirish look of "L.A. Confidential", unfortunately what's missing is the well-told story. See more Frances H 09/03/2013 Tragic story of the consequences of intolerance and hatred, with fine acting by Courtney Vance and Charles Dutton, and a fine script. See more 11/08/2012 I like this movie... ;^) See more 02/28/2012 Good for one time viewing. Ending is sad. Found it a little boring but kept watching to see the outcome. Good for a rental not a buy.
