The initiative taken for the concern is very serious and needs an attention of everyone. This is the concern which exists in the society and needs to be eliminated from the society as soon as possible

This movie makes me realize that we need to reform the jury system. A jury is meant to be one of your “peers” not of your friends. Therefore, the jury for Dan White’s murders should have been a representation of the population in that area. This country needs to have justice for all, not just the white-straight religious fanatics who try to own the country of the U.S. |
