    When I first saw the trailer, I just assumed this was in the 50s or the 60s. To hear him say 1986 just knocked the wind out of me. But it's 2020 and things aren't any different.

    This movie had me in tears all throughout the movie because some of these inmates die and is innocent. Alabama killed a veteran with mental health issues and I understand he was guilty but he was sick and the military just threw him away like he was nothing to them. The system fails people of color and they're biased against a black person because of how they look. This movie was a success for Mr. McMillan but it demonstrates the failure in the criminal justice system. This movies haunts innocent people and compels the heart.
