An excellent, excellent movie--The Burial--On a par with Mississippi Burniing--

You can see it on Amazon Prime--based on a real life case and the original story in the New Yorker.

Court scenes--the funeral monopoly that screwed all the poor people has to pay up.

The star Black Lawyer never loses.

Staring Jamie Fox and Tommy Lee Jones--also produced by Jamie Fox--audience rating 5 out of 5 stars.

If you believe in the court system and the rule of law, and everyone's right to be heard, you will like this.

Also like To Kill a Mocking Bird and A Man for All Seasons.

Oh, and a famous essay called The American Way of Death--which I read in my eldest son's English text book in college in America.
