A Soldier's Story

A Soldier's Story
A black soldier is killed while returning to his base in the deep south. The white people of the area are suspected at first. A tough black army attorney is brought in to find out the truth. We find out a bit more about the dead soldier in flashbacks - and that he was unpopular. Will the attorney find the killer ?

One of the best adaptations of a theatre play to the big screen. You see a very young Denzel Washington along side the late Howard Rollins and Art Evans in probably one of the best depictions of African American World War 2 soldiers and the realities they faced in segregated units.
