"Let justice be done though the heavens fall."
Starring Academy Award winning actor Timothy Hutton as Samuel
Leibowitz, Heavens Fall tells the story of one man’s quest for justice.
The film is based on a real incident in 1931 when nine black
hoboes were pulled off an Alabama freight train and arrested. The
plight of the Scottsboro Boys became a ‘cause celebre’ that fueled
the fire of socialism worldwide.
Heavens Fall is the first theatrical feature film on the Scottsboro
case ever produced. The Stony Brook Film Festival venue is the
first test screening before a public audience. Heavens Fall came to
us courtesy of Terry Green, the writer and director of the film
Almost Salinas, which was the Grand Prize winner at the 2002
Stony Brook Film Festival. Produced by Wade W. Danielson and
Gloria Everett. Cinematographer: Paul Sanchez. A Strata Productions Film.
