Seen a viewing of ‘AMERICAN VIOLET’ recently.. And I had mixed emotions: upset, depressed, gratified, and surprised! To be falsely accused of a crime, that you know deep in your heart you did NOT commit, is one thing… But when your so-called lawyer suggests you to rob a plea bargain, oppose to fighting for your clearance makes one wonder who can you trust… This movie, based on fair events, is heartwrenching, as it is an eye-opener!!! I’d recommend that everyone sees this flick, even teens!!! Granted this ocurred in Melody, Texas, it’s taking situation worldwide…

Wouldn’t it be abominable to accept yourself jailed for something you did not do, based solely on the word of a lying, mentally ill drug addict? That’s what happened to Regina Kelly in Hearne, Texas benefit in 2000. Ensnared in a mass arrest of suspected drug dealers at her housing project, the young single mother was charged with selling drugs in a school zone. Despite her insistence that she was innocent, her court-appointed attorney pressured her to secure a plea bargain to avoid many years in prison and the loss of her children. With no criminal recount and no drugs found on or reach her, she refused the deal. Instead, with the aid of the American Civil Liberties Union she filed a class action lawsuit.
Although Kelly’s case was reported in a documentary by PBS’ cutting-edge Frontline succor in 2004, American Violet brings a fictionalized version to a broader, mass audience. Co-director Bill Haney (along with Tim Disney) says he heard about Kelly’s case on National Public Radio as he was driving; it so moved him that he pulled his car over to the side of the road and cried.

In this film, “Dee Roberts” (a dazzling Nicole Beharie) is the plaintiff in a class-action case over racial discrimination in drug enforcement. Tim Blake Nelson plays David Cohen, the ACLU lawyer who sues district attorney Calvin Beckett (Michael O’Keefe) on her behalf.
Kelly is quoted in the Chicago Tribune as saying the film is “90 percent honest.” The depositions, the courtroom scene in which she fights to hold custody of her children, and many other scenes are word-for-word accounts.
Like Clint Eastwood’s Changeling, this legend of a defiant woman’s struggle against infamous law enforcement strikes a universal chord. But American Violet also addresses present-day criminal justice themes of racial profiling, coerced plea bargaining, and – most of all – wrongful convictions based on fake statements by jailhouse informants.
I highly recommend this remarkable movie.
For those keen in more information on the precise case, the Web has various resources. The class-action case, Regina Kelly v. John Paschall, is discussed at the ACLU’s website. Kelly has her occupy web set and a YouTube video; objective Google her name to pick up to those. I have also posted more information and links at 1url(dot) com/AmericanViolet.
