Dummy (1979)

Starring:

• LeVar Burton
• Paul Sorvino
• Brian Dennehy

Storyline
Someone killed a hooker, and the cops are sure they've got the perp: a ghetto kid named Donald Lang (LeVar Burton). But Donald cannot speak. Or hear. Or read or write or understand sign language. Not even Donald's deaf lawyer can communicate with him. Can the state try a man incapable of defending himself? Le Var Burton and Paul Sorvino play accused and attorney in this gripping true story of a case that challenged our legal system and challenges our concept of justice. Winner of a 1979 Peabody Award(r) and nominated for an Emmy(r) as 1979's Outstanding Drama or Comedy Special, Dummy speaks volumes about the value of a human life, whether it belongs to a prostitute or the man who may be unjustly accused of her murder.

Acclaimed actress Diana Sands and Dirk Benedict star in this provocative romantic drama. While performing in Sweden, black singer Georgia (Diana Sands, The Landlord, Honeybaby, Honeybaby, Willie Dynamite) falls in love with white photographer Michael Winters. The romance is scorned upon by Georgia's black traveling companion Alberta (Minnie Gentry, Black Cesar, Greased Lightning), who is most upset by the interracial relationship as Alberta despises all whites with a vengeance, and it is her hatred that formulates the film's explosive climax.
