After Innocence
Overview
A moving account of the experiences of men exonerated after years, and sometimes decades, in prison following newly found DNA evidence.
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Eye-opening.
After Innocence is, without making it overly obvious, anti-death penalty on the grounds that a just society cannot afford to make any mistakes that we cannot attempt to rectify.
Informative (we learn, for example, that exonerees are generally given no follow-up assistance upon release, as parolees are) and deeply moving.
Each lost face in the documentary is a burning reminder of the human toll when our justice system succumbs to its imperfections.
