On January 11, 2008, Josh Cohen and his partners, attorneys for the City of Cleveland, sue the 21 banks that they deem responsible for the real estate foreclosures that have devastated the city. But the Wall Street banks that they attack oppose going to trial by every means possible. Cleveland vs Wall Street tells the story of a trial that should have taken place. A cinematic trial but one whose story, characters and testimony are real. –Quinzaine des Réalisateurs
