Storyline American Violet
A young single mother of four living in a small Texas town. Arrested during a drug raid and accused of a crime she didn't commit, Dee goes against the wishes of her mother, Alma, and rejects the plea-bargain that would free her from jail, but brand her as a felon for life. As word begins to spread that similar incidents are occurring in poor communities all across the country, Dee realizes that there are more mothers out there like her, and decides to take a stand against powerful district attorney Calvin Beckett. Now, despite being well aware of District Attorney Beckett's fierce reputation, Dee enlists the aid of ACLU attorney David Cohen and former narcotics officer Sam Conroy in overcoming the seemingly insurmountable obstacles that, if not navigated with the greatest of caution, now threaten to destroy her life. With the custody of her children on the line, one brave mother wages a valiant battle to strike at the very heart of the corrupt Texas justice system.Movie details

Find More About American Violet
Directed by Tim Disney. With Nicole Beharie, Will Patton, Alfre Woodard, Tim Blake Nelson. A single mother struggles to clear her name after being wrongly accused and arrested for dealing drugs in an impoverished town in Texas.
Clay Kane said that American Violet is "the first must-see film for African-Americans in 2009." Dr. Joy Browne of WOR Radio reviewed the film, calling it "A gem of a movie. Timely, thought-provoking, passionate, exciting. Everything you look for in a movie experience and more."
American Violet Critics Consensus. Though its politics are as obvious as its outcome, American Violet is an earnest docudrama about the justice system with a powerful performance from Nicole Behairie.
American Violet, it's true, is not blazingly original cinema. Tim Disney's direction and the screenplay by Bill Haney are meat and potatoes, making this story clear, direct and righteous.
That's the story told in "American Violet". The young mother is named Dee Roberts in the film. Her ethnic minority? She's African-American. The seedy community is called Melody, Texas. The story, however, is almost fact-for-fact the true tale of events in Hearne, Texas, USA.
"American Violet" is clear about the motivation for such raids with little or no evidence. A guilty plea helps the district attorney build up a record as a crime fighter, even though he is the one who has committed the crime. A defendant who pleads guilty cannot continue to live in public housing and will always have a felony on the record.
The American Violet Society is very pleased to be able to announce the addition of the following new violets to the Viola Registry: ‘Annie’ - A chance seedling of Viola odorata grown by Clive Groves of England. Bright, rose-pink (70A RHS colour chart) flowers (and spurs) are of standard shape and medium/small (2cm) in size.
