- Synopsis:
"The Trials of Darryl Hunt" documents the brutal rape/murder in the American South, and offers a deeply personal story of a wrongfully convicted man, Darryl Hunt, who spent twenty years in prison for a crime he did not commit. Based on an ID made by a former Klan member, and with no physical evidence linking him to the crime he was convicted by an all white jury, and sentenced to life imprisonment. In 1994, DNA testing cleared Hunt, yet he would spend another ten years behind bars. With personal narratives and exclusive footage from two decades, the film frames the judicial and emotional responses to this chilling crime - and the implications surrounding Hunt's conviction offering a provocative and haunting examination of a community - and a criminal justice system - subject to racial bias and tainted by fear. This unique look at one man's loss and redemption challenges the assumption that all Americans have the right to unbiased justice. - Actors:
