Unfortunately this is not a film many will sit all the way through, the story and message being lost to audiences with less patience and attention span that the filmmakers were intending.

Rating: 1.5/4 --
A righteous cause supported by a very bad idea, but a bad idea (a docu-drama) executed about as well as could be expected.

Movie Nation
American Trial and its portrayal of the broken American legal system seems so real that it doesn't just convey Snipe Garner's helplessness but also amplifies it.

Though there's no doubt where his sympathies lie, first-time feature director Messinger is dispassionate in the courtroom, allowing both sides to present reasoned arguments.

Hollywood Reporter
Rating: 3.5/4 --
Producer/writer/director Roee Messinger has created an astonishing film, a video that contemplates what if. It tackles themes of race, police brutality, stop and frisk and the plusses and minuses of our judicial system.

"American Trial: The Eric Garner Story" could have been something special. The idea has spectacular merits. It's just in the execution that things fall flat.

Product Description:
Interviews with eyewitnesses and court case evidence come together to tell the harrowing story of Daniel Pantaleo, a former NYPD officer charged with the murder of Eric Garner in Staten Island, New York. Documentarian Roee Messinger explores the questions surrounding police and civilian relationships against the broader backdrop of inner-city racial tensions and its implications for American policy-making.
