No stranger to divisive topics or candid conversation, Pulitzer Prize-winning Mamet takes on the explosive subject of race relations. When two cynical lawyers—one black and one white— prepare to defend a powerful white businessman accused of raping a young black woman, they must confront their own perceptions and prejudices.
