| About the film:
The film is based on the true story of Betty Ann Waters, an unemployed single mother of two, who saw her brother begin serving a life sentence in 1983 for murder and robbery. Convinced that he was innocent, she spent the next 12 years taking steps to earn a law degree. In 1995, she began focusing on her brother's case. Challenging the conviction with DNA evidence, she proved her brother's innocence, and Kenneth Waters walked out a free man in March 2001. |
