CLARENCE THOMAS IN HIS OWN WORDS

UNPRECEDENTED ACCESS.
THE STORY YOU DIDN’T KNOW.

WHY THIS FILM ?

Although Clarence Thomas remains a controversial figure, loved by some, reviled by others, few know much more than a few headlines and the recollections of his contentious confirmation battle with Anita Hill.

With unprecedented access, the producers interviewed Justice Clarence Thomas and his wife, Virginia, for over 30 hours of interview time, over many months. Justice Thomas tells his entire life’s story, looking directly at the camera, speaking frankly to the audience. After a brief introduction, the documentary proceeds chronologically, combining Justice Thomas’ first person account with a rich array of historical archive material, period and original music, personal photos, and evocative recreations. Unscripted and without narration, the documentary takes the viewer through this complex and often painful life, dealing with race, faith, power, jurisprudence, and personal resilience.

PRESS & NEWS

“The film is a rare opportunity to hear directly from Thomas, who is famously quiet during oral arguments and shies away from public appearances.”
“[A] rare insight into the mind of a justice known for his reticence on the public stage.”
“It is a marvel of filmmaking that two hours pass so quickly. At the end of a screening I recently attended, there weren’t many dry eyes in the room.”
“Everyone interested in the truth and a great story should go and see it.”
“Created Equal is the story of one exceptional American, but it’s also a story about America, a still-exceptional nation, one that for all its many faults, provides unparalleled opportunity for those willing to work hard to overcome whatever and whomever they find in their way.”
“Filmmaker Michael Pack conducted [over thirty] hours of interviews with Thomas and his wife Virginia to create this stunning documentary”
