But the documentary focuses less on his music and more on his fierce dedication to the impoverished defendants he represents as a Hall County public defender. "If I don't do all I need to do, somebody's going to go to prison," said Trav Williams, one of three young public defenders profiled in director Dawn Porter's "Gideon's Army." The fihn premiered at the Sundance Fihn Festival earlier this year and is scheduled for HBO broadcast at 9 tonight.
