As the world suffocates, a helpless father fights desperately to keep his family breathing, gambling his own.

On a desolate American farm in the early 1900’s a farmer is found murdered in his sleep, and his wife is jailed as the prime suspect. Two women, a neighbor and the sheriff’s wife, find themselves in the accused woman’s kitchen while the prosecuting attorney and their husbands search the farm for a motive for the crime. As each new clue further incriminates the accused, the women must decide whether to reveal the evidence against her or become, in effect, a jury of her peers. The rerelease of this feminist film classic, adapted from the 1917 Susan Glaspell short story, presents a riveting tale of revenge, justice, and women’s shared experience.
