Alleged (2010)

Set against the backdrop of the dramatic Scopes "Monkey Trial" of 1925, Alleged is a stirring romance woven into the fabric of a pivotal moment in history. In the quiet, dwindling town of Dayton, Tennessee, resides Charles Anderson, a gifted reporter shackled by the confines of his late father's newspaper. When a local teacher is seized for daring to teach evolution, Charles spots his ticket out of obscurity, a chance to finally ascend to the journalistic big leagues. Thrust into the heart of what's being hailed the "Trial of the Century," Charles navigates a labyrinth of personal and professional dilemmas. His heart belongs to the virtuous Rose, his fiancée, who champions unwavering principles. However, his ambition lures him towards the allure of H.L. Mencken, the nation's most vibrant and influential columnist, who tempts him with a tantalizing dance of moral compromises. Torn between his love for Rose and his yearning for success, Charles is ensnared in a whirlwind of decisions that could shape not just his future, but the course of history itself. Alleged is a riveting tale of ambition, love, and the price one is willing to pay for a place in the annals of journalistic fame.
