Philadelphia: What the Lord Requires (Micah 6:8)
In Philadelphia, Andrew Beckett—dying of AIDS, fired for his illness—hires Joe Miller, a homophobic lawyer, to fight his discrimination case. Joe must overcome his prejudice; Andrew must find dignity in dying. Both men change. Act justly, love mercy, walk humbly. Andrew seeks justice—not vengeance, just fairness. Joe learns mercy—seeing Andrew as human. Both walk humbly—Andrew accepting help, Joe admitting ignorance. Micah's triad is not abstract theology; it is a lawsuit, a disease, two men becoming better by proximity to each other's need.
