ABOUT THIS EPISODE
There’s one last jury trial left, one last shot at forcing the sugar companies to make good on unpaid wages. And Dave Gorman miraculously finds new evidence that could clinch it. But that’s when an obscure 150-year-old law comes into play, sending the lawyers reeling. Finally, the lawyers, journalists and cutters reflect on what the kingdom of big sugar reveals about life, race and justice in America.
