After Innocence

One of those docs that gets your blood boiling about the failure of justice system. It follows the stories of seven men who were exonerated by DNA evidence after lengthy incarcerations, in one case up to 23 years. It's a powerful subject, but if you're already aware of how the system puts innocent people in jail, it won't teach you much of anything you didn't already know. It doesn't show any particular flair for documentary filmmaking, either, although it's solid enough.

Should have been much stronger considering the subject

"After Innocence doesn't inspire much confidence in the American legal system." - Nick Schager

Fit-for-TV digital documentary on a bushelful of ex-convicts exonerated through DNA evidence after five, ten, twenty, twenty-five years behind bars. The people are interesting to meet, and their stories, although a little one-note, healthily undermine our faith in the justice system.
