The American Bar Association awarded Writ Writer the 2009 Silver Gavel for Documentary Film, their highest honor.  The film recounts the powerful story of the emerging prisoners’ rights movement in Texas during the 1960s and early 1970s through the story of self-taught jailhouse lawyer Fred Arispe Cruz and civil rights attorney Frances Jalet. “Writ Writer” had its world premiere at the South by Southwest Film Festival and was telecast nationally on the PBS series Independent Lens.

Congratulations to producer and director Susanne Mason.
