Opening July 10th!

Philadelphia Lawyer

by Arthur Kraft
Directed by Rayanne Thorn

A time when taking the stand meant Life or Death.

When freedoms are questioned and threatened, what choice does man have other than to fight for what he believes? Early citizens of the Colony of New York and a shrewd lawyer from Philadelphia find themselves in just this circumstance - fighting for the right to question authority, fighting for the right to speak and write the truth, and fighting for the course of a nation. The heart and head lead the way to greater understanding of these inalienable rights all citizens bear. Laws evolve and destinies alter in this story of a time not too different from today.
