35 min

WORLD PREMIERE The US is one of the only non-authoritarian governments to still carry out the death penalty, sentences that disproportionately target the poor and disenfranchised. Civil Rights advocate and lawyer Bryan Stevenson is working to combat this reality one wrongful conviction at a time by giving inmates the quality defense they never had. Murder and Redemption follows Stevenson’s lifelong journey to end capital punishment, told through the case of convicted felon Anthony Ray Hinton’s struggle to escape a death sentence in Alabama.
