John Marshall

The Man Who Made the Supreme Court

Filmed across eleven states and the District of Columbia, our documentary explores the life and work of the greatest judge in American history. John Marshall built the Supreme Court into the third pillar of American government and set legal precedents that still impact every part of American life. For 34 years as Chief Justice, he defended his mentor George Washington’s vision of a strong central government built on the Constitution against those who would weaken it, especially his cousin and lifelong enemy Thomas Jefferson. With compelling present-day filming, unique archive images and in-depth interviews with scholars, judges and today’s Chief Justice, we bring to life a time of transition and turmoil when the success of the American ‘experiment’ was still in doubt.
