The Confession
Trust no one.
Directed by David Hugh Jones
Produced by Phoenician Films, El Dorado Pictures
A morally complex courtroom drama about grief, justice, and the corruption of principle, centered on a father's vigilante response to his son's death and a lawyer's crisis of conscience.
After his young son dies from the negligence at a hospital, Harry Fertig takes matters into his own hands and kills the doctor, nurse and clerk responsible. Slick lawyer Roy Bleakie, looking only to win a case and not caring of the matters involved, is asked by Fertig's boss to defend him. Shocked to hear that his client wants to plead guilty, the case causes Bleakie to question his own morals by defending an honorable man.
