Post-film discussion hosted by Winston Cely, Film & TV Educator at ACTC
Despite its inherent whiteness, we’ve chosen this film to kick-off The Film House’s new beginning due to its analysis of groupthink and the power of a single voice. Join us on January 29 to learn more and partake in the discussion first-hand.
12 Angry Men, by Sidney Lumet, may be the most radical courtroom drama in cinema history. A behind-closed-doors look at the American legal system that is as riveting as it is spare, this iconic adaptation of Reginald Rose’s teleplay stars Henry Fonda as the dissenting member on a jury of white men ready to pass judgment on a Puerto Rican teenager charged with murdering his father. The result is a saga of epic proportions that plays out over a tense afternoon in one sweltering room. Lumet’s electrifying snapshot of 1950s America on the verge of change is one of the great feature film debuts.
