Academy Award Best Actor Gregory Peck plays a widowed small-town Alabama lawyer in 1932 trying to raise two
children while defending a black man, Narrated by the younger child, Scout, a feisty six-year-old tomboy, itis a story of
honor and integrity, racism and stereotyping, and the lessons we all learn when confronted with crises. Two storylines
play out simultaneously; that of the trial and the children's small-town life, especially their relationship with a reclusive
neighbor, Boo Radley, The interwoven stories come together dramatically and skilfully in the exciting climax. The
interest arises both from the social the world of their seniors and matters of justice and injustice.
