The film tells the redemptive story of how Marvin Booker, a black, homeless, street preacher was beaten to death by five Denver jail guards for wanting to get his shoes. It then covers Marvin’s beautiful, devout, family from Memphis. Their two incredible civil rights attorneys in Denver. And, clergy, activists, and communities from both cities, who sought to restore Marvin’s constitutional rights in a groundbreaking 2014 federal civil rights jury trial.
