Zoot Suit
Zoot Suit is based on the real Sleepy Lagoon murder case and the zoot suit riots of 1940s Los Angeles. The movie is based on the critically acclaimed play by Luis Valdez. Henry Reyna is the leader of a group of Mexican-Americans who are being sent to San Quentin for the death of a man at Sleepy Lagoon even though there isn't much proof against them. As members of the defense committee, Alice Bloomfield and George Shearer fight against the obvious injustice so that Henry and his friends can go free.
