'In the 1950s, Max Stuart was convicted of rape and murder, based on a typed confession written in good English. However, Stuart could hardly speak or write English. As he sat on death row many questions were raised. The case became a watershed for changes in police procedures, racial attitudes and media involvement.' (Source: TROVE)

'BLACK AND WHITE is based on a 1959 real-life trial in Adelaide, Australia, that went as far as the Privy Council in England. This film is a compelling drama about two young lawyers embarking on a battle for natural justice which has far reaching consequences both for themselves and Australian society.'
