12/31/2018 A raw look at the impossible job that public defenders have. An incredibly inspirational story of 3 individuals who fight for those society would turn away from and abandon.

It'd be good for someone who has little to no idea about what public defenders go through on a day to day basis.

And, they are not heartless. It breaks the stereotypes for defense lawyers, at least for public lawyers anyways. Definitely watch if you think justice systems are a joke. See more 07/28/2014 A wonderful documentary about a very important topic. Director Nyree Dawn Porter really cares about her subjects, and chooses to give us a human story rather than just focus on the bigger issues. Like any good "true story" the characters are at the forefront, and the issue of the documentary becomes clear as we care about the people involved. It's so much easier to care about an issue when you're emotionally invested in the lives of people who are affected by the issue. This is what Porter does so effectively in Gideon's Army, and it's a film everyone in America should see. See more 02/10/2014 An inside look at public defenders. It will give you a newfound respect for these hardworking professionals. See more 02/02/2014 interesting and touching exploration behind the scenes, what public defenders go through.
