Atlanta, GA – Thursday evening the Anti-Defamation League will present the premiere of the documentary film, “The People vs Leo Frank” which recounts the 1913 case of a Jewish pencil factory manager in Atlanta who was convicted of murdering Mary Phagan, one of his employees. When Frank's death sentence was commuted by the governor in 1915, a mob kidnapped him from his prison cell and lynched him in Cobb County. WABE's Steve Goss speaks with the film's writer and director Ben Loeterman.
