When the film broke out that a young man coming from a rich adopted family murdered his birth father, the controversy around the case hit a nerve with the public at large. An experiment was held through the form of virtual court inside a college to discuss this hot topic. During the process of virtual court, 12 Chinese people from different walks of life got together and discussed the case like a jury. Through intricate and thought provoking questions from the main character, people start to think more critically about the case. During this process, one sees the revelation of people's bias and emotional-preconceptions about the suspect, about each other, and also about the society.
12 Citizens is a 2014 Chinese drama that reimagines the jury-deliberation format through a virtual courtroom experiment. When a young man from a wealthy adopted family is accused of murdering his birth father, twelve ordinary people from different backgrounds gather to debate the case, uncovering their own biases and assumptions about guilt, justice, and society.
