This a costume drama and period piece based on real people and true facts all set in the 18th century. It is drawn from the actual history of a young lawyer who fundamentally changed the legal system in England at a time when unfair advantage formed the foundation of corruption and defined the war between the classes of rich and landed nobles, and working class people. Not only is it well acted, but the subjects treated in Garrow's cases are pertinent and timely to our own affairs of today. Enjoy a positive story about the struggle for truth, justice and the dignity of honest men and women no matter their lot in life.

William Garrow championed the downtrodden and powerless in 18th-century England as a passionate young barrister who ignited a courtroom revolution. Taking on the established legal practices and smug inertia of the courts, Garrow pioneered the art of cross-examination as an advocate for the accused.  Based on a true story and drawing on actual court records from the Old Bailey.
