A Time to Kill

A Time to Kill, directed by Joel Schumacher, centres on a young lawyer who takes on the defense of a black man accused of killing the two white men responsible for the rape of his young daughter. The film, a searing critique of racial injustice, sees its protagonist grappling with moral and ethical dilemmas as he navigates a racially charged trial that reignites dormant racism and the Klan's influence in the Deep South.
