Sunday, April 27, 1913 was a date that brought a vicious wave of racism throughout the United States of America. When the body of Mary Phagan was found in the basement of the National Pencil Factory in Atlanta, Georgia, Leo Frank, a part owner of the company, was arrested for her rape and murder.

Throughout the film Paradise Road by Bruce Beresford there are numerous incidents where violence occurs and merely creates more conflict then there was at the beginning.

Another example of how violence increases the amount of conflict then there was originally is when Adrienne hit the Japanese soldier, even though she was seen as a leader and role model to some female prisoners.

She gives an overview of the whole incident while citing most of the information displayed, giving her paper credibility and showing the knowledge she possesses on Stuebenville.
