Sypnosis
Based on the events surrounding the 1971 Attica Prison uprising in New York, The Killing Yard tells the story of Shango Bahati Kakawama (Morris Chestnut), one of the inmates who - two years later - must stand trial for accusations of crimes committed in during the chaotic event. Facing a biased jury and unfair procedure, Shango's case is taken by liberal lawyer Ernie Goodman (Alan Alda) and his activist assistant, Linda Borus (Rose McGowan). Initially distrustful of white Ernie, self-educated and politicized Shango eventually begins to form a bond with Ernie and Linda during the time that they steadfastly champion his case. Originally produced for the Showtime network.
Rose McGowan's Role
The role of Linda Borus is certainly unlike any other Rose McGowan has ever played. Linda is an incredibly intelligent, well educated and passionate young activist. She is in love with Shango and is willing to do anything to help him, never doubting his case.
