![]() ![]() ![]() We brought together lawyers and historians to play Marshall’s favorite game of quoits (like horseshoes) on the exact spot where Marshall’s Quoits Club met throughout his lifetime. From slave quarters in Savannah, GA, to a fire festival in Santa Fe, NM.Īlong the way we recreated Aaron Burr’s treason trial with contemporary trial lawyers rearguing the case in front of today’s US 4th Circuit judge (Marshall’s old circuit). ![]() From the French Quarter of New Orleans to a rebuilt James River flatboat in Virginia.From snow-covered Valley Forge to a tall ship sailing out into the Atlantic off the coast of New Hampshire.From today’s Supreme Court and US Senate to the Cherokee capital of Tahlequah, OK.Pulling together so many different story strands took our film crew across America for more than nine months.And because the cases have a life outside the documentary film, each required its own narrative while still working within the overall story of John Marshall’s life. O two & a half hour documentary JOHN MARSHALL, THE MAN WHO MADE THE SUPREME COURT is effectively eight separate films in one the life story of the Great Chief Justice himself along with stories about seven of his pivotal cases. ![]()
