Black And White

In 1950s Australia, Max Stuart, an illiterate Aborigine, is suddenly arrested by police for murdering a nine year old white girl. He crumbles under interrogation and signs a confession to the killing, signing away his right to life. Robert Carlyle and Kerry Fox play young, naive defence lawyers determined to reveal the police force's intimidation and institutional racism. They draw the attention of up-an-coming press mogul Rupert Murdoch to champion their case through his newspapers in London, and changing Australia's conservative law establishment forever.
