    Must see for those in the minority or exploitable groups subject to this treatment
    This is a great example of how in the US justice system, any person can be a statistic or an example before they are a human. It does this by humanizing the protagonist. his attorney, his family and his supporters, while at the same time, giving in-depth examination the system which they are fighting against.

    In reaction to those who are rating this documentary based on how much it entertained them, it illustrates that the big picture is still being missed in our society: and that is that these are no actors performing for our Netflix entertainment -- these are real human lives that were and still are being seriously effected in ways that most of us could not bear by a deeply flawed system.
