BEATING JUSTICE is a one hour documentary that unpacks the story of the death of Martin Lee Anderson. The film was developed over the course of 5 years with the help of undergraduate and graduate students in the Media Production Program in the School of Communication at Florida State University.
This program explores the intersection of race, class, and justice in Florida's juvenile justice system. It considers the case of 14-year-old Martin Lee Anderson, who was fatally beaten by seven prison guards at a Florida juvenile detention boot camp. The DVD discusses the acquittal of the prison guards and features interviews with Anderson's family, state government officials, civil rights groups, and journalists.
