I admit I have only seen it as a play and not the movie but it is great to be reminded of how so many of the themes and characters are still so resonate today. I find myself imagining how you might embody the ethos of each of those jurors in 2024 - a world of online masculinity influencers, of disillusionment with meritocracy and a faltering middle class, and a climate of hyper-partisanship.

I love the aspiration behind the phrase, "asking us if it is possible to be the kind of humans who recognize the humanity in others."
