In the King of Prussia

Dramatization of the trial of Christian anti-war activists, known collectively as the "Plowshares Eight".

The direct-to-video production is intercut with clips from actual news coverage of the trial. The "Plowshares Eight" portray themselves in the production, and after taping was complete, reported to court for their imprisonment.
