Answer 1

American violet is an impressive film tells one woman’s story of abuse at the hands of a hostile legal system. For different reasons, it evokes such past films as Erin Brockovich, Mississippi Burning, and the works of Sidney Poitier in the Civil Rights era. American Violet tells the story of legal injustice and systemic, institutionalized racism — and the struggle to overcome such prejudice. One big difference from these earlier films, however, is that the events which inspired American Violet happened in the year 2000. Throughout the movie, news clips are shown in the background which chronicle the election (and aftermath) between Al Gore and George W. Bush, just to remind us that this is not some story from the 1960s-era, but that this sort of thing still happens all too often in today’s America.The underlying message of the film is an important one. This sort of thing does indeed still happen in America. Racism has not magically disappeared. Graham Boyd, the real-life ACLU lawyer who was at the center of Kelly’s case (and who is also Director of the ACLU’s Drug Policy Litigation Project) had this to say about the larger implications brought up by the film, and by Kelly’s experience itself.
