Cast
Eric Loren and David Lyons

Cherry Docs is the powerful and provocative story of Mike (David Lyons), who is on trial for a racially motivated murder. He is being defended by a court appointed liberal Jewish lawyer, Danny Dunkelman (Eric Loren). These polar opposites feed off each other as they prepare Mike's case. Through raw and combative dialogue, each character is forced to delve into his own conscience and to reluctantly face deeply buried faults and prejudices. Both men's beliefs are challenged by the encounter they have gone through.
