DESCRIPTION:The 1960s’ and ’70s' most famous, rabble-rousing and radical defense 
 attorney is put on the witness stand and cross-examined by two of his 
 daughters in this riveting and complex portrait. For Sarah and Emily 
 Kunstler, making this film is not an exercise in hagiography. It’s an 
 effort to understand and find reconciliation with a man who defended not 
 only civil rights activists, the Chicago 7 and the Catonsville Nine 
 Catholic antiwar campaigners, but also accused rapists, cop killers, 
 terrorists and assassins. “Justice, Justice shalt thou pursue,” says 
 the Torah, but Kunstler’s daughters ask, “At a certain point, was he 
 standing for anything worth fighting for?” Had celebrity gone to his 
 head? Was he, as Alan Dershowitz says, “a hypocrite”? With amazing 
 archival footage, intimate home movies and the participation of many 
 leading ’60s activists, this film revives the conflicts and injustices 
 that stoked a generation, with Kunstler always on the frontlines—helping 
 to prevent a massacre of American Indian militants at Wounded Knee, but 
 failing to prevent one at New York’s notorious Attica State Prison. The 
 sisters show us a charming crusader always ready to serve his clients with 
 a higher sense of justice. He’s the kind of lawyer any revolutionary 
 would want not just for the defense but for the cause.\n
