A Time for Justice is the story of the American civil rights movement as told by those who fought the battle for the right to vote during the 1950's and 1960's. It depicts the struggle through the experiences of its foot soldiers: the men and women who rode where they weren't supposed to ride; walked where they weren't supposed to walk; sat where they weren't supposed to sit; and who stood their ground until they won their freedom. Produced by four-time Academy Award winner Charles Guggenheim, A Time for Justice recalls the crises in Montgomery, Little Rock, Birmingham and Selma. But more importantly, it reveals the heroism of individuals who risked their lives for the cause of freedom and equality. Jimmie Lee Jackson was killed by state troopers during a voting rights demonstration in Marion, Alabama. Opening at the cemetery where Jackson is buried, A Time for Justice used the first-hand testimony of participants and stunning archival footage to present a concise and compelling look at the grass-roots movement that sought to extend the fruits of democracy and return basic human dignity to all of the nation's people.
