Gideon's Army (2013)
Filmmaker Dawn Porter has directed diverse documentaries throughout her career, so IMDb asked that she select three to best represent her. Between 'Gideon's Army', 'John Lewis: Good Trouble' and 'Bree Wayy: Promise Witness Remembrance,' Porter gives just a sample of her style, subjects, and power as a creator.

    A powerful, deeply moving film.
    This is one of the finest documentaries I have ever seen and I have viewed many such films. It brought me to tears at numerous places. This documentary does what I believe only the very best documentaries do: it informs, it carries a powerful message, it inspires, it raises deep emotions and, most of all, it stays with you. It is a gift that keeps on giving. This is movie about heroes, unknown heroes. It is a film MADE by a hero. I congratulate and thank Travis Williams, Brandy Alexander and June Hardwick and wish them MUCH success in their vital work (and much higher and richly deserved compensation!). I congratulate and thank the filmmaker, Dawn Porter, and wish her continued success in HER vital work. I wish good luck and blessings to the men and women represented by the public defenders in the film and all across our nation. This is a magnificent film. I am grateful beyond words for the privilege of having viewed it. All I can say is "thank you" to everyone who made it a reality.
