American violet [videorecording] / [presented by] Samuel Goldwyn Films and Uncommon Productions ; produced by Bill Haney ; written by Bill Haney ; directed by Tim Disney.
A young, single mother of four is wrongly accused of selling drugs near a school and is offered a plea deal that would force her to admit to a crime she didn't commit. She challenges the laws of Texas when, instead of ruining her life with a conviction, she decides to sue the DA for racial discrimination in a case that changes her life as well as the laws of her state. Based on a true story.
