Innocent Behind Bars
In an intimate portrayal of injustice, this series reveals the true experience of being wrongfully convicted and the impact that lasts well beyond the prison bars. Each episode explores the harrowing story of a person who was convicted of a crime they didn't commit and their fight to prove their innocence in a court of law. Through a first-hand recount from the exoneree themselves and supporting interviews with those close to the case, the crime and trial are critically examined to find flaws and falsehoods in the original conviction that prove their innocence. But even exoneration can't heal all wounds, the impact extends further than just lost years and affects every part of their lives; sometimes beyond repair.
