Lynne Stewart: An American Story
The rough cut of a new film by Francis van den Heuvel.

The cliché after the September 11th attacks was that "the world had changed forever." And in some ways this is true. But more than the Twin Towers may have been destroyed - since that day centuries of judicial protections and procedures have been under attack. In the name of a "War on Terror" there has been a war on justice - and there may be no better example than the prosecution and conviction of one of New York's best known defence attorneys, Lynne Stewart. Her case forms the backbone of this film.
