# Free, White and 21 (1963)

1963 · 104 min · Drama · United States


## Synopsis

Free, White and 21 is a 1963 movie by self-proclaimed "schlockmeister" director Larry Buchanan. It was based on the true story of the controversial trial of a black man accused of raping a white woman in Dallas, Texas in the 1960s. The title is a version of the archaic American idiomatic phrase "free, white, and twenty-one", which means "beholden to no one".
