Continuing the struggle. Innocent Until Proven Guilty is the story of James Forman Jr., the son of civil rights activist James Forman. As a public defender in Washington DC, Forman helps African-American kids who have been arrested or incarcerated in the past stay out of the criminal justice system. The poster features an African-American boy who is both protected and dehumanized by the pixellation used to conceal the identity of suspects on television. In the film, we used the same bold typography for on-screen information and credits.
