Based on true story, Black and White is about the 1959 landmark trial that irrevocably changed police procedure and judicial authority in South Australia.<br> It is Christmas 1958 in conservative Adelaide. An excitable young lawyer, David O’Sullivan, has drawn a ′bad lottery prize′ - a legal aid case. He must defend a young Aboriginal who has been arrested for the rape and murder of a nine-year-old girl. O’Sullivan soon concludes that his client has been framed by the local police. He finds himself pitted against Chamberlain, South Australia’s Crown Prosecutor, a forbidding but tremendously charismatic character. O′Sullivan embarks on a ′David and Goliath′ battle that threatens the establishment of closed ranks and hidden evidence.<br> Aided by the young Rupert Murdoch, O′Sullivan takes the case to the highest courts in the Commonwealth. Maneuvering narratives of political manipulation, police corruption and personal crisis, this is a wonderfully compelling story of right and wrong and justice.
