Soul of  Justice:

Thelton Henderson's American Journey

Director: Abby Ginzberg
SOUL OF JUSTICE is a testament to one person's commitment to integrity and human rights and his profound effect on the lives of millions. From the inhumane conditions of Pelican Bay State Prison to the slaughter of dolphins by tuna-fishing fleets to the elimination of affirmative action, Thelton Henderson, as one of the first African American federal judges, has been on the front lines of some of the most important legal contests of the past 25 years. SOUL OF JUSTICE is also a testament to the director-producer's sense of commitment. Abby Ginzberg, a former attorney, has said of Henderson's inspirational and unforgettable story:  "If I did not tell it, it would not get told."  Narrated by Carl Lumbly. (2005, 62 min.)
