  To Kill a Mockingbird is a film centering on the rape trial of a black man in Alabama in the 1930s. In this clip, the man’s lawyer, Atticus Finch, provides the closing arguments to a hostile audience. Finch must convince the racist and angry audience that his client is innocent of the charges in a way that will force them to confront their deeply held attitudes, beliefs and values. The scene is an excellent example of how public speakers must speak to their audience’s perspectives, even when challenging them.
