Holy cripes, that is how you make a docu-series. My wife and I were fixed to the screen the whole time.

I cannot believe the injustice of the American legal system back in the 80s.

Absolutely riveting and compelling to watch.

This was a thoughtful documentary for me. I hear the term white privilege, and while I certainly understand it exists, I always kind of think of it as exaggerated and sometimes an excuse for bad behaviour. Then I watch that and think of my 16 year old nephew, being threatened, and coerced into a confession and sitting in jail for a decade or longer and it makes me almost sick. The only thing standing between him and them is he is white and middle class. Very sobering and sad.
