Louis Brandeis: The People's Attorney

When President Woodrow Wilson appointed Louis Brandeis to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1916, the blood of the power elite boiled. This film traces the life and career of this important American reformer. The issues Brandeis faced in the early part of the 20th century will ring familiar to any observer of current events. As he fights corporate scandal, political corruption, and abuse of the working poor, he gives us the inspiration to address those problems in our own times.
