The Witness

A young black man is arrested for murder. The case against him is strong - a mum and a businessman saw him standing over a body in a park, a knife still in hand. But his up-and-coming barrister Rosa - a black woman who is herself fighting prejudice - knows how people prejudge, but most of all, she knows the accused: he's a friend of her younger brother, and this kid - he's a good boy, wouldn't ever have done this. So she begins to dig. As Rosa discovers secret upon terrible secret, she moves closer to finding a testimony that could win the case - or bring the whole establishment down on her.
