Film Description:

On the eve of his departure from office, George Ryan—longtime conservative Republican, supporter of the death penalty, and governor of Illinois—surprised the nation by commuting the sentences of all 167 prisoners on Death Row. Directors Katy Chevigny and Kirsten Johnson bring us directly into the debate and the legal process that is set into motion when a group of Northwestern University journalism students uncover evidence of numerous innocent people of Illinois' Death Row, undermining the credibility of the state's entire capital justice system.

[A Q and A with Katy Chevigny and Kirsten Johnson will follow the screening.]

We hope to see you at the screening of a film, which The Hollywood Reporter calls, "an example of social activism at its best.

Sincerely,
The Big Mouth Productions Staff
