The Price of Justice

Corporate greed, judicial corruption, government inaction... The business elite colludes with the power elite to trample on the lives of ordinary people. Does justice still exist? Two human rights lawyers, one from the bottom of society and the other from a family of lawyers, came together with their belief in upholding judicial fairness. However, their opponent is Blankenship, the head of the coal empire. In this lawsuit, which lasted for fourteen years and went through many twists and turns, how did the business empire collude with judges and public power to squeeze the living space of small businesses, ignore people's rights and even lives, and trample on judicial fairness? Lawrence Lemmer, a well-known reporter from the New York Times, in his court trial documentary "The Price of Justice", he comprehensively presents the trial scenes of the U. S. County Court, State Court of Appeals and Federal Supreme Court, traces the history of Blankenship's coal empire, and tells the story of large American companies using huge sums of money to manipulate the election of local court judges, interfering with judicial fairness, and the Supreme Court's efforts to turn the tide.
