El sábado 27 de octubre de 2018, un supremacista blanco, radicalizado aún más por el clima político en ese momento, entró en la Sinagoga Tree of Life con cuatro armas de asalto semiautomáticas y gritó "todos los judíos deben morir". Asesinó a once feligreses, con edades comprendidas entre los 54 y los 97 años, mientras rezaban. 'A Tree of Life' crea un retrato profundamente personal de los sobrevivientes, las víctimas y los familiares de las víctimas del ataque a la sinagoga de Pittsburgh, y pone de relieve la crisis basada en el odio que amenaza nuestra seguridad colectiva y la democracia misma.

A Crime on the Bayou is the story of Gary Duncan, a Black teenager from Plaquemines Parish, a swampy strip of land south of New Orleans. In 1966, Duncan tries to break up an argument between white and Black teenagers outside a newly integrated school. He gently lays his hand on a white boy’s arm. The boy recoils like a snake. That night, police burst into Duncan’s trailer and arrest him for assault on a minor. A young Jewish attorney, Richard Sobol, leaves his prestigious D.C. firm to volunteer in New Orleans. With his help, Duncan bravely stands up to a racist legal system powered by a white supremacist boss to challenge his unfair arrest. Their fight goes all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, and their lifelong friendship is forged.
