Set in Alabama during the Great Depression, “To Kill a Mockingbird” follows the journey of Jem and Scout Finch, whose father has been appointed to defend Tom Robinson, a black man framed for a crime he did not commit. As the trial progresses, Jem and Scout witness their community in a tense tug of war between justice and racism. This timeless classic compels the audience to take an honest look at the nation’s past and our moral responsibility to each other.
Published in 1960, the novel “To Kill a Mockingbird” became a bestseller, selling over five million copies in thirteen countries and winning the Pulitzer Prize for fiction. In 1962, the film version of “To Kill a Mockingbird” went on to win three Academy Awards, including Best Screenplay Adaptation. In 1999, it was voted Best Novel of the Century by the Library Journal.
