Jay Beilis gives a passionate retelling of the persecution of his grandfather, Mendel Beilis that arose due to politically incited anti-semitism in Tsarist Russia. Ultimately, justice triumphed due to the ability of Mendel to endure great hardship and a jury composed of enough good citizens who were not swayed by a prejudiced court. He traces how the events of that time have affected his family over several generations.
