An emotional look at a family court
and the judiciary system
in the United States

 

AVAILABLE FOR SALE and STREAMING RENTALS

ANTONIO MÉNDEZ ESPARZA / DOCUMENTARY / SPAIN, U.S.A. / 2020 / 115 MIN

Raw and powerful, Courtroom 3H marks a confident documentary debut from director Antonio Méndez Esparza (Here and There). Shot in a single courtroom over the course of a month, the film takes viewers inside Florida’s Tallahassee Unified Family Court, which specializes in judicial cases involving minors. Cases of abuse, abandonment, and negligence are presided over with the express objective, under the law, to reunite families as quickly and safely as possible.

Shining a needed light on the economic disparities underlying so much of what occurs in the US justice system, Courtroom 3H offers another profoundly sensitive portrait of family at the mercy of the system.

RELATED STUDIES: BULLYING + VIOLENCE, CRIMINAL JUSTICE, FAMILY, HUMAN RIGHTS, YOUTH
