A Soldier's Story (1984)
1944. On a country road in Louisiana, a black master-sergeant, Vernon Waters, hated by all that knew him, is shot dead. A Harvard-trained military attorney, Captain Davenport, the first black officer the Louisiana men have ever seen, investigates. Colonel Nivens demands that he finish up in three days; Captain Taylor is sympathetic but worried should Davenport discover that the killer was a white man. But Davenport finds that three men bore the dead man a grudge.
