Audience Member A very good dramatization of the events surrounding one of the most poorly handled trials in American history. Nice period detail and great performances--in particular Richard Jordan and Peter Gallagher, whose resemblence to Leo Frank is almost uncanny. The downside? Some inaccuracies here and there, and even at a runtime of over four hours, it still feels like they barely scratched the surface. (I'd recommend the book 'And the Dead Shall Rise' for those interested in a more thorough examination of the case) Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Heartbreaking miscarriage of justice.
