A good critic to covered injustice
Once again, the enormous weaknesses of a country's judicial and prison system are demonstrated. Once again, it is clear the level of poverty and misery of several black families, which survive as means of drug distribution in many cases. According to a statistic that appeared at the end of the film, there are more than 2.5 million convicts in the United States, of whom an estimated 120,000 are innocent. Imagine an innocent sentenced to life imprisonment, who returns the life lost in prison? That, if it is finally proven innocent, which does not always seem very likely. The plot of this film is a sharp nail to assimilate for those who proclaim the existence of another pleasant and unreal environment. Tyrannies and dictatorships without mercy are condemned, something very fair, but criticism of the imperfections of the so-called democracy is not accepted, it is scary to speak about it when it comes to gross violations of human rights. Congratulations to the director and the rest of the team that made this movie.
Excellent movie
Thought this was very well done. Hard to believe this goes on but it does. One thing this topic needs is a hell of a lot more publicity.
WHERE POIGNANACY AND TRIUMPH FACE-OFF.
Hope--- is my favorite word. This story is heartfelt and will touch your soul. It did mine.
Incredibly powerful yet tragic story
The number of people walking out of this movie in tears is enough you need to know. An emotionally draining film that is honest and not withholding.
Excellent Movie
This was such a great movie but hurts to know that this takes place every single day in our judicial system. The film is based on a true story and is amazing when you see what miracles they did with such a limited budget. Glad to know amazon gave this story a chance and look forward to great movies like this in the future. Well done
