Synopsis: In July 1991, President George H.W. Bush nominated Judge Clarence Thomas to fill Justice Thurgood Marshall's seat on the U.S. Supreme Court. In October, during the final days of Thomas' confirmation hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee, both Newsday and NPR broke the story that one of Thomas' former employees, law professor Anita Hill, had accused him of sexually harassing her ten years earlier. These revelations triggered a maelstrom of events, with both Hill and Thomas testifying about the allegations before a stunned and riveted television audience. The release includes brief discussions with Washington and Pierce on the historical impact of the hearings as well as "Character Spot" featuring cast members discussing the character they play.
