Heather Shaner, a feisty, blue-haired public defender in Washington, DC, has spent over 45 years representing people who can’t afford a lawyer. But her empathy is tested when a violent mob supporting outgoing President Donald Trump storms the U.S. Capitol. As Heather gets to know her clients, she discovers how they were deceived by misinformation and thought they’d joined a righteous defense of democracy, not an authoritarian wave. PUBLIC DEFENDER explores the delicate state of U.S. democracy, the forces threatening to tear it apart, and the people dedicated to protecting it. Amidst a growing political divide, when trust is lost, the unlikely bonds between Heather and her clients reveal how people can rise above the fray to find each other’s humanity.
