This is only remotely interesting to me bc I’m going to school for law so I care about this event in history but it is so fucking boring and filled with so many white men doing bad acting. Besides you Henry nothing is your fault king <3

We started this on the 1st, but finished it today. I had to watch this in my law class. The music goes really hard. Actually enjoyable for what it was, but I was one of the few students actually watching it. Interesting trial and story.

Watched 80% of it for my civics and economics class and I don't think I would've liked it as much in a different setting. Henry Fonda's good as usual.
