Summary
Since the early 1970s, attorney Lea Tsemel has made a career out of defending Palestinians in Israeli courts. This documentary follows Tsemel's caseload in real-time, including the high-profile trial of a thirteen-year-old boy, her youngest client to date, while also revisiting her landmark cases and reflecting on the political and professional significance of her work, as well as the personal price one pays for assuming the role of devil's advocate.
