- Based on true events in the midst of the 2000 election, AMERICAN VIOLET tells the astonishing story of Dee Roberts (critically hailed newcomer Nicole Beharie), a 24 year-old African American single mother of four young girls living in a small Texas town who is barely making ends meet on a waitress salary and government subsidies.
On an early November morning while Dee works a shift at the local diner, the powerful local district attorney (Academy Award® nominee Michael OKeefe) leads an extensive drug bust, sweeping her Arlington Springs housing project with military precision. Police drag Dee from work in handcuffs, dumping her in the squalor of the womens county prison. Indicted based on the uncorroborated word of a single and dubious police informant facing his own drug charges, Dee soon discovers she has been charged as a drug dealer.
Even though Dee has no prior drug record and no drugs were found on her in the raid or any subsequent searches, she is offered a hellish choice: plead guilty and go home as a convicted felon or remain in prison and fight the charges thus, jeopardizing her custody and risking a long prison sentence.
Despite the urgings of her mother (Academy Award® nominee Alfre Woodard), and with her freedom and the custody of her children at stake, she chooses to fight the district attorney and the unyielding criminal justice system he represents. Joined in an unlikely alliance with an ACLU attorney (Tim Blake Nelson) and former local narcotics officer (Will Patton), Dee risks everything in a battle that forever changes her life and the Texas justice system. AMERICAN VIOLET also stars Emmy Award® winner Charles S. Dutton and Xzibit.

I will never understand why she is so underrated as a an actress.
Nicole Beharie is just STUNNING!!!!
So fucking pretty 😍
Great movie. It is very sad that this is happening in America. Surprisingly, I saw this on BET. One of the few positive black movies they've played.
So Nicole Beharie graduated from my school im attending (SCGSAH). I am so inspired to become an actor now. Thanks Nicole!
This movie is fantastic, just saw it! It is a shame it only came out in limited states. What made it even better is that it wasn't watered down with too many famous faces.
One of the greatest movie I ever saw!
Thanks for making this movie, now I know Texas is not the state that I would set foot in.
Great movie about an issue that concerns everyone in this country who cares about justice. Thank you so much for making this-i hope it becomes a huge success
I watched this movie in my communications class, it's a really good documentary everyone should watch it!
she is gorgeous. This movie looks so good going to watch it soon.
this was an excellent, inspiring film
A true story about Regina Kelly vs John Paschall in Hearne texas. Right after it came out my son was murdered in Hearne. Hank Alan Johnson. John Paschall brother in law billy blackburn knew before hand that hank was going to be beaten. July 10,2008. I have met Regina,been dealing with Paschall. Several other murders have happened in Hearne as well. My son's is unsolved. He was exhumed and no results. You can call John Paschall and he won't answer your call. Robertson D.A. in Franklin.
She look like Jada pinkett, just darker. Very pretty. She played on that lifetime movie with Jill Scott, Sins of the Mother.
Never heard of this movie. I was watching this young lady on the Monique Show. Why was this movie never pushed. I know some yrs back lifetime had some movies on this subject. Very glad that I found this movie on Netflix! Cant wait to watch it.
"Dee! You know I need this truck for work!"
At least Chadwick got fame after doing Black Panther but he would never had if he had chosen not to do it or if someone else had gotten cast. He was always so incredibly underrated. Just like Nicole. So Sad.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
BRILLIANT MOVIE FROM THE START....NICOLE BEHARE & ALFRE WOODARD AMAZING ACTRESSES.
I was wondering when the brother in court was finally gonna say something.
This looks great! I'm really looking forward to this movie.
This Spring is looking to be a great one for movies, American Violet, Sin Nombre, Sleep Dealer...it's going to be one of the better Springs in recent memory.
Really GOOD movie. Just saw it last night. Girlfriend can ACT. It's well done. You just keep shaking your head thinking, "This really happened!"
If you don't know the whol story see the movie without finding out too much about the plot line.
Her acting in this was sensational
Good luck and God bless to the cast and crew of this film.

I thought this film was supposed to be released this month?
Serisouly, FUCK HOLLYWOOD, man. Nicole is not only beautiful but a remarkable actress. She is mind blowing and WHERE ARE HER AWARDS? Where is her fame and fortune? Where are her magazine covers? I love Octavia Spencer, but is she really THAT good to have gotten all those nominations and awards? NO. And all those other black actresses getting a lot of work in high budget films when they can't even act.... ENOUGH. Nicole deserves the accolades. She is simply masterful.
Can someone please download this movie to UA-cam.
