    Madison Movie Night: "InJustice"

    Florida State University, Tallahassee

    Madison Movie Night: "InJustice"
    Wednesday, February 6 - On the campus of Florida State University
    Save the Date - Details TBA

    Visit MMN Facebook Event


    In this first-ever, feature-length film about the American legal system, InJustice showcases how the class action lawsuit, born from the Civil Rights Act of 1964, was skillfully managed by a small group of trial attorneys who manipulated legal rules, procedures — and even their own clients — to become an international enterprise that rivals the scope and profits of Fortune 500 corporations.

     InJustice takes a shockingly candid look-under-the-hood of the American legal machine. The film takes the viewer on an epic journey through the dark corridors of lawsuit scams and abuses, including: asbestos and silicosis litigation, the Fen-Phen diet scandal, the bizarre truth behind the mega-million dollar tobacco settlements, and the shakedown operations in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.”

    In this original exposé, Single Malt Media takes a unique approach to examining the scope and magnitude of lawsuit abuse, its personal and societal costs and the billions in profits the lawsuit industry leverages, many times without ever going to trial.  InJustice blows the lid off the growing phenomenon of how some plaintiffs, who are never injured by an accident or a faulty product, steal resources from those who have been legitimately hurt or damaged.

    Motivated through personal experience, awarding-winning producer Brian Kelly decided to make a movie about the U.S. legal system.  His own dealings with trial attorneys were so laborious and tiresome that it triggered his moviemaker instincts and led to this documentary.

    The story telling in the film is distinctive – using the experiences, attitudes and voices of the victims and trial attorneys.  InJustice is a narrative largely told by lawyers in their own words about what is wrong with America’s lawsuit system and who’s to blame.
