NEW YORK AP – It’s a century-old miscarriage of justice that still haunts anyone who knows of it, and will surely disturb viewers introduced to this tragedy in “The People v. Leo Frank,” a powerful retelling that premieres Monday on PBS at 10 p.m. EDT.
In a rich blend of experts’ accounts and dramatic re-enactments, the 90-minute film revisits the case of Leo Frank, a young Cornell-educated Brooklyn native who was plant supervisor of the National Pencil Co. in downtown Atlanta.
