Follow the bizarre journey from the creation of the movie, through the raids, arrests and the banning of the film, to the political fallout of the ensuing courtroom drama, which launched the career of Allen Dershowitz."

The production features scenic design by Josh Iacovelli, lighting design by Graham Kindred, costume design by Jeffrey Wallach, projection design by A2K Productions, LLC and sound design by Phillip Rudy. When Harry Met Linda produces.
