Pictures paint a thousand words... I'm thinking I typed that already... In this case, it's a 1779 painting of Dido Elizabeth Belle sitting beside her cousin Lady Elizabeth Murray. Dido's great uncle at the time was the Lord Chief Justice of England who was presiding over a world changing court decision. The recommended movie for the week is Belle (2013)...
There are two other movies that tell stories of world changing court cases. They are Amistad (1997) and Amazing Grace (2006). Amazing Grace has a deeper story about the author of the song of the same name. It's not completely told in the movie though. 'The rhythm of a sailing ship at sea...'
