关于此电影

Based on the true life story of Lena Baker, the first woman to be sent to the electric chair in Georgia for the murder of her employer, who forced her into sexual slavery, The Lena Baker Story takes place in the early 1900's through 1945 in Cuthbert, Georgia. It's the story of one womans attempt to rise above the challenges of life, the choices she makes, and the consequences of those choices.The moment she thinks she has overcome her inner demons, she is called to work for Elliot Arthur, a father, a millworker and a drunk.As their relationship unfolds, it becomes strange, strained, and highly unacceptable for the time. Elliot Arthur needs Lena and in return Lena seems to need him.He abuses her and keeps her from her children by imprisoning her in his home.When she has finally had enough, Lena stands up and attempts to break free from the bondage of Elliot Arthur. A struggle ensues, and Elliot Arthur, a white man, is shot by Lena Baker, an African-American woman, on a hot, humid night in Southwest Georgia in 1945.LAUGHING CROW ENTERTAINMENT

People need to see this movie. Executing an African American woman when all she did was defend herself or be killed by her white oppressor who kidnapped her. I did not know this was actually a true story till the end of the movie. I am not American but SHAME on America for their shocking history of treatment to African Americans.
