IMDb rating: 7.1

They say “the road to hell is paved with good intentions” and this documentary will show you why that may well be true. It follows a man named Anthony Porter, who was accused of killing two teenagers in 1982. Porter was supposed to be executed in 1999 for the crime, but an independent investigation by professors and students from Medill School of Journalism brought new evidence that supposedly proved Porter was innocent and pointed to Alstory Simon as being the murderer. In another twist of events, it turned out that Simon was also innocent. The documentary explores the case and examines whether Anthony Porter was in fact guilty.
