About Roman J. Israel, Esq. 💬

''Let us be enraged about injustice, but let us not be destroyed by it.''

Bayard Rustin

• If you can't break the law, break the system.

Roman J. Israel, Esq. is set in the underbelly of the overburdened Los Angeles criminal court system. Denzel Washington stars as a driven, idealistic defense attorney whose life is upended when his mentor, a civil rights icon, William Jackson dies.

Roman has spent years developing a brief that he believes will change the justice system, in the meantime sacrificing a family and a normal life to fight for justice. While Roman is short on interpersonal skills, he is gifted with a phenomenal memory as well as strong personal convictions on the meaning of justice.

When he is recruited to join a firm led by one of the legendary man's former students - the ambitious lawyer George Pierce (Colin Farrell) - and begins a friendship with a young champion of equal rights Maya Alston (Carmen Ejogo), a turbulent series of events ensue that will put the activism that has defined Roman's career to the test.

Self-loathing is easy. Self-accountability is hard. Which one will you choose?
