Soul of Justice: Thelton Henderson's American Journey is a timely and unforgettable story about one person's commitment to integrity and human rights and his profound effect on the lives of millions. From the inhumane conditions at Pelican Bay State Prison to the slaughter of dolphins by tuna-fishing fleets to the elimination of affirmative action, Soul of Justice reverberates with the heart-wrenching and dynamic issues that have placed Henderson, one of the first African-American federal judges, on the front lines throughout the last 25 years. At a time of increasing polarization over the actions of judges, this riveting and thought-provoking new film ultimately reveals the true power of one man's fearless efforts to see that justice retains its soul.
