With music from artists Joni Mitchell, The Tragically Hip, First Aid , Xavier Rudd and more, this is an unforgettable journey and an unforgettable film.

Fiction is a letter that I'm writing to myself to make sense of the world. These are the words of Michel Tremblay and the opening of this delicate and touching documentary that explores the creative mind behind Les Belles Soeurs. From Glasgow to Tokyo, from Key West to Montreal, In the Hands of Michel Tremblay sensitively paints the portrait of a singular career.

A powerful and thought-provoking true story, Just Mercy follows young lawyer Bryan Stevenson (Jordan) and his history-making battle for justice. After graduating from Harvard, Bryan had his pick of lucrative jobs. Instead, he heads to Alabama to defend those wrongly condemned or who were not afforded proper representation, with the support of local advocate Eva Ansley (Larson). One of his first, and most incendiary, cases is that of Walter McMillian (Foxx), who, in 1987, was sentenced to die for the notorious murder of an 18-year-old girl, despite a preponderance of evidence proving his innocence and the fact that the only testimony against him came from a criminal with a motive to lie. In the years that follow, Bryan becomes embroiled in a labyrinth of legal and political maneuverings and overt and unabashed racism as he fights for Walter, and others like him, with the odds — and the system — stacked against them.
