In the scorching Alabama heat of the 1930s, the sounds of children’s voices echoing from a treehouse pierce the sleepy atmosphere of the town of Maycomb. As Scout and Jem struggle with the growing pains of adolescence in the shadow of their mysterious neighbors, a sense of injustice in the town’s narrow streets has already reached their very doorstep. Directed by Robert Mulligan, this harrowing drama lays bare the prejudices echoing off the cold walls of a courtroom and the sharp shadow of racism, all seen through the eyes of a child. The impossible defense taken on by Atticus Finch is not merely one man’s fight for innocence, but also the story of innocence quietly slipping away on the wind.
