Before "you have the right to remain silent" were the most famous words in law enforcement, they were the impossible dream of one man.
THE MIRANDA RIGHTS is the powerful, untold biopic of Professor Yale Kamisar--a brilliant, stubborn, and battle-hardened Korean War veteran. Witnessing the systemic abuse of minorities and the poor by unchecked law enforcement, Kamisar launches a seemingly impossible crusade. He's not just a Professor; he's a street fighter with a law degree, a man whose fury for the underdog fuels a legal revolution.
His radical ideas pit him against the entire political and police establishment, risking his career and reputation. But his unshakeable conviction--that justice can only exist if it protects the weakest among us--ignites a cultural firestorm.
From the gritty precincts of abuse to the hallowed halls of power, this is the story of the man whose work was cited in 30 Supreme Court rulings and honored by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
THE MIRANDA RIGHTS is a timely, thrilling, and inspiring drama about the deeply personal fight that forever changed the meaning of "Justice" in America.
