A Soldier's Story
Alone, far from home, and far from justice, he has three days to learn the truth about a murder... and the truth is a story you won't forget.
A black soldier is killed while returning to his base in the deep south. The white people of the area are suspected at first. A tough black army attorney is brought in to find out the truth. We find out a bit more about the dead soldier in flashbacks - and that he was unpopular. Will the attorney find the killer ?
