Murdered attorney, activist, and scholar, 34-year-old Alberta Odell Jones, burned brightly as the nation's first African American woman sports lawyer, negotiating Muhammad Ali's first boxing contract. She later became Louisville-Jefferson County's first female prosecutor and tireless voting rights advocate before her brutal, unsolved murder in 1965.
Reviews
Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
