Call Her King is a fun, interesting cross-over of action thriller and political commentary. Specifically, commentary on the iniquities of the US Justice system and the ingrained discrimination faced daily by black people within it.
Basic set-up. Jaeda King (Naturi Turton) is, as the cliché goes, ‘young, gifted and black’. Also, a woman. So, you might expect her to be a ‘bleeding heart liberal’. But, no. For reasons that will become clear she is to be found on the side of the legal conservatives.
Jaeda is all set to hand down sentence in the case of Sean Samuels (Jason Mitchell), a young black man found guilty of multiple murders when… her courtroom is invaded by a bunch of ne’er-do-wells. That is, by a small army hired by Sean’s brother, Gabriel (Lance Goss) – aka ‘Black Caesar’ – with the aim of springing Sean.
Jaeda, however, escapes, taking with her Sean and a couple.
