Imagine everything you did between the years 1976 and 1992. Now remove all of it - it could happen just as easily to you?
Those 16 years were taken from Sunny Jacobs, convicted and sentenced to death for a crime she did now committ ... it could happen just as easily to you. Culled from interviews, letters, transcripts, case files and the public record, THE EXONERATED tells the true stories of six wrongfully convicted survivors of death row in their own words. Moving between first-person monologues and scenes set in courtrooms and prisons, the six interwoven stories paint a picture of an American criminal justice system gone horribly wrong – and of six brave souls who persevered to survive it.
