Ecco la nostra intervista a Simone Missick e Wilson Bethel, i protagonisti di All Rise, la nuova serie della CBS disponibile su Premium Stories dal 16 ottobre 2020 e su Infinity dal 17 ottobre 2020.
00:00So, guys, the pilot start in a really strong way.
00:04We can say maybe it's a reflection of the situation of America in these days.
00:09Do you agree?
00:11Yes.
00:12I would say that, you know, when we see the show start, for example,
00:17the first moments that we see Lola and Mark,
00:21there's a young kid who's stolen her laptop.
00:25And, you know, for better or worse, they decide how they're going to handle it.
00:29You know, and sometimes somebody just needs a slap on the wrist and to be let go.
00:34But then you go inside of the courtroom and it's a completely different situation.
00:39You've got a young woman who is, you know, going in front of the judge.
00:43And she's such a non-entity that they have ignored the fact that she does not have on hands.
00:50And it's a moment of levity in the show.
00:52And yet at the same time, this was a real scenario that actually happened in a courtroom.
00:57And it's indicative of the way that we view people who are accused of a crime.
01:01They're not always guilty until they're proven innocent.
01:04Sometimes they're just assumed guilty.
01:06And then as a result of that, less than human.
01:09We need to treat them as such.
01:11And I think that we're seeing that in the United States especially.
01:15But we've been seeing it around the world for a very long time.
01:18And hopefully this show does a good job of highlighting that in a way that allows for our audiences to examine some of the things that they accept in their own towns and cities and cultures.
01:32But then also challenge and question.
01:35Yeah, I mean, I think, you know, to say that the American justice system is a massively complicated, complex system would be probably the understatement of the millennium.
01:47But that's what our show kind of seeks to do is examine individual stories, individual inlets into that world that allow us to explore all these very confusing, sometimes unjust, sometimes corrupt, sometimes, you know, ambiguous levels in which our justice system operates.
02:11And, you know, the truth of the matter is, it's probably not a whole lot different in Italy and France and Brazil and anywhere else.
02:19You're talking about systems that not only are complicated, but that by their very nature are in some ways weighted to be complicated.
02:31Yeah.
02:31So that, you know, certain people or certain types of justice are meted out in certain ways.
02:37But this is a story also on how you can realize your dream if you work up.
02:45So what do you think about it?
02:48Is it true?
02:51Well, I think, you know, I mean, Lola's character in this show is, I think, a super inspirational one.
02:58And she is somebody who has put the work in and risen through the ranks and and now is realizing her, you know, essentially some version of her childhood dream.
03:09And and I think that that's both super inspirational and and the flip side of that is that she ends up in all these challenges, really challenging situations over the course of the season where just because you've arrived where you think you want to be doesn't mean that you're not going to be challenged constantly with the idea that you should be there.
03:28I think also what's great to see Lola ascend to this, you know, amazing position at her age as a woman and as a woman of color, it's inspiring.
03:43But then it also makes us look at, you know, the state of the American justice system and how few women there are that are judges and how even smaller a percentage of women of color that are judges.
03:56And I think, you know, I personally get messages all the time from young women who are in law school or who are in college preparing to go to law school who say, you know, your show has really opened up my eyes to the possibility of being a judge, which is something that, you know, if you don't see it, you can't dream it.
04:13You can't believe that it's possible.
04:15And so I think that, you know, to be able to be these men and women who represent people from various backgrounds and cultures to show young people all over the world that you can be a part of a system and you can enact change and it doesn't matter where you come from.
04:33And TV history tells us as an audience that we are in love with legal series.
04:39Why, in your opinion, are they so successful?
04:42I mean, you know, part of it, I think, is just the wealth of stories that you have an opportunity to tell.
04:52There's so I mean, the depth and complexity of the legal system of people's, you know, sagas through that system are incredibly rich for better or worse.
05:05You know, so and then and then you also get to live in the world with a bunch of hyper intelligent, very well dressed.
05:14But I also think what's what's really cool about our show is that we take this idea of the legal drama, the large ensemble, and we kind of turn it on our on its head.
05:24You know, we can't really say that this show is just a drama.
05:27Nor will we be able to say that it's a comedy, but it really goes in between both worlds seamlessly.
05:33And I think it gives audiences something that they haven't seen in a really long time.
