Product Description

Academy Award Winner Susan Sarandon stars alongside Danny Glover, Brian Dennehy, Delroy Lindo, David Brown Jr. and Aidan Quinn in a stunning exposé of the American Criminal Justice System. Based on the award winning critically acclaimed play, The Exonerated tells the gripping true stories of six people who were wrongly convicted and sentenced to death for crimes they did not commit and, in the face of new evidence, exonerated before their execution. This moving and compelling film is derived from real interviews, letters, transcripts and public records to tell the story of the lives that were destroyed despite evidence that could have freed them. Sonia Sunny Jacobs (Susan Sarandon) - A young mother and her husband are wrongly convicted of killing a police officer. After spending years on death row, she is finally exonerated and released. For her husband, it was too late, he had already been executed. David Keaton (Danny Glover) - An 18 year old man is sentenced to death after being coerced into confessing to a murder he did not commit. Kerry Max Cook (Aidan Quinn) A young Texan man is convicted of rape and murder and endures 22 years on death row until DNA evidence proves his innocence. Gary Gauger (Brian Dennehy) A farmer is sentenced to death for the murder of his parents after being persuaded by interrogators into confessing. Years later he is released after it is determined there was no physical evidence linking him to the crime. Delbert Tibbs (Delroy Lindo) An all white jury convicts an African American man of rape and murder. The sentence is eventually overturned for lack of evidence linking him to the crimes. Robert Earl Hayes (David Brown Jr.) - An African American man is convicted of the rape and murder of a white woman. He is sentenced to death despite evidence of a long blond hair found clutched in the victim s hand. Imagine everything you did between the years of 1976 and 1992.......Now remove all of it. The DVD release of this film is being fully supported by Amnesty International who have kindly donated 2 bonus features.

Set very much like a stage show and absolutely riveting to watch, this is about 6 completely separate "ordinary" people who were wrongly convicted of murder, degraded for long periods by the US criminal justice system and eventually exonerated and freed.

The acting is brilliant. The stories are chilling. Time passes in an instant as you are totally drawn into the worlds of these unlucky victims.

Right at the end you get glimpses of not just the actors but the real human beings on whom the dramas are based and they are so ordinary that it scares you to death to imagine yourself as one of them, caught up and denied years of your life by over zealous policemen and biased judges.

Utterly brilliant.

By K. Gordon TOP 500 REVIEWER

Intelligent, mostly well acted filming of the stage play, as 6 people exonerated from death row
in the US tell their true stories, mostly as monologues, against a black background.

A powerful argument against the death penalty, it feels a bit stuck between embracing it's
theatricality of approach, and trying to work as a more cinematic piece both in the way its
shot, the occasional awkward `flashbacks' and in the `size' of the performances, which range
from understated and small to quite theatrical and presentational.

But whatever questions one might have about the stylistic choices, there's no question that
these are powerful, important true stories in that every rarer thing, a dramatized American film that
head on addresses an issue with passion and intelligence.
