2001 DaimlerChrysler Dreambuilder Celebration Movie

"Elevator"
Charles Baxter is a high powered attorney defending the ambitions of a developer against the interests of housing project residents. The residents claim the developer is intentionally locating his plant near the inner city housing project with no regard for the heath and safety of the community. Angered by the injustice and apparent racism of the case, Bruce, a courthouse custodian, takes drastic action. It is a decision that could cost him his job and his freedom.

As the story unfolds, we learn that Bruce's anger is fueled by a long history of injustice, some of which is surprisingly linked to Charles Baxter's law career. Bruce is determined to force Charles to understand, accept and adopt his point of view. Viewers are forced to question their own point of view.
