Movie description:
Through the eyes of Scout, a feisty six-year-old tomboy, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD carries us on an odyssey through the fires of prejudice and injustice in 1932 Alabama. Presenting her tale first as a sweetly lulling reminiscence of events from her childhood, the narrator draws us near with stories of daring neighborhood exploits by she, her brother Jem, and their friend Dill. Peopled with a cast of eccentrics, Macomb finds itself the venue of the trial of Tom Robinson, a young black man falsely accused of raping an ignorant white woman. Atticus Finch, Scout and Jem’s widowed father and a deeply principled man, is appointed to defend Tom for whom a guilty verdict from an all-white jury is a foregone conclusion. Juxtaposed against the story of the trial is the childrens’ hit and run relationship with Boo Radley, a shut-in who the children and Dill’s Aunt Stephanie suspect of insanity and who no one has seen in recent history. Cigar-box treasures, found in the knot hole of a tree near the ramshackle Radley house, temper the children’s judgement of Boo. »You never know someone«, Atticus tells Scout, »until you step inside their skin and walk around a little.« But fear keeps them at a distance until one night, in streetlight and shadows, the children confront an evil born of ignorance and blind hatred and must somehow find their way home.Boy Actors

Ein sehr feinfühliger Film, der aus Kindersicht den Rassismus in den USA aufzeigt. Und daß gewisse Menschen nicht so schlimm sind, wie man annimmt.
Besonders der junge Schauspieler Phillip Alford spielt den Jem Finch hervorragend.
