Yoav Potash's documentary is a shattering chronicle of Deborah Peagler, an African American woman imprisoned for the 1983 murder of her abusive boyfriend. After a law passes allowing survivors of domestic violence to appeal their sentences, two idealistic lawyers, one an Orthodox Jew, become convinced they can set her free. This is a staggering account of a fight against injustice and a suspect system still imprisoning hundreds of thousands of women across America today.
