Such a sad story. And a frustrating one too. I'm not spoiling anything by saying an innocent man was executed for a crime he didn't commit as it states as such in the film explanation. Before anyone has an issue, it'd be like me saying the ship sinks in Titanic....
Brilliant acting throughout and excruciating to see how people ignore the truth right in front of their faces. Makes you lose all faith in the "justice system".
It says a lot that he has been proven innocent since but if the governed had just read the letter and stopped what was wrong with everything, a decent man would have lived his life out with pain and hurt but justice that he deserved and required to get over such an horrific incident.
I do reflect a lot on films that make me sad and think about you them maybe far too much but in this case, being true, it really does make you think how fickle life and some peoples opinions are, especially when you hear the real life governor talking at the end and people whooping and cheering. Wow. And the US is supposed to be civilised?
