To Kill a Mockingbird
Synopsis
In a small Alabama town in the 1930s, Scout Finch watches her father defend a Black man accused of raping a white woman. The novel is remembered as a courtroom story, but it is really a child’s slow education in the gap between the neighbors she loves and the harm they will allow.
