Sapiro v. Ford: The Jew Who Sued Henry Ford

Film at Lincoln Center

Gaylen Ross's enlightening documentary tells the ultimate American David and Goliath story. It centers on the landmark 1927 libel case brought by Jewish lawyer Aaron Sapiro against notoriously antisemitic automobile tycoon Henry Ford, a significant moment in judicial history for being the first time a Jew fought antisemitic slander in an American court.
