Soul of Justice: Thelton Henderson's American Journey is a timely and unforgettable story about one person's commitment to integrity and human rights and his profound influence on the American judicial system. Beginning with his 1980 judicial appointment (one of the first African American federal judges) by President Jimmy Carter until the present day, Henderson's tenacity in seeing that his decisions are implemented has made him a uniquely effective and brave jurist, setting the bar high for others who have followed in his footsteps. From the inhumane conditions at Pelican Bay State Prison to the slaughter of dolphins by tuna-fishing fleets, Soul of Justice reverberates with the heart-wrenching and dynamic issues that have placed Judge Henderson on the front lines throughout the last 25 years. At a time of increasing polarization over the actions of judges in America, this compelling cinematic journey reveals the true power of Thelton Henderson's fearless efforts to see that justice retains its soul.
