"The film was great - provided discussion of several important cases in Darrow's life. Graham Thatcher's portrayal of Darrow is excellent. The discussion that follows is also very good, and people are able to type in questions in real time - very interesting for those watching as well. A different kind of CLE. Enjoyed it very much and got the credit, too."
