1988
Drama, Crime
TV Mini-Series
From a true story. In Atlanta in 1913, a 13-year-old girl is murdered in the factory where she works. The factory manager, a Jew named Leo Frank, is convicted and sentenced to hang. Georgia Governor John Slaton suspects that Frank may have been railroaded by public desire for revenge and hatred of Frank's religion and northern (US) ties. But as a rising politician, Slaton also knows that to violate such strong public opinion by questioning the judgment would be political suicide. (imdb)

Attempt to cover up the truth, the Jew did kill the girl.

Not bad. A really star-studded production for an '80s small-screen affair, but often quite dull for a story about the murder of a 12-year-old girl... and often thin, besides. Was it really necessary to take almost four hours to tell this story?
