USA Today - 07/29/2005

"The most provocative movie ever about miscarried justice -- and a heavy influence on the following decade's non-fiction TV crime shows."

Empire - 02/01/2008

4 stars out of 5 -- "As gripping as any thriller, this is a rare film that actually saved someone's life."

Product Description:
