The Trials of Darryl Hunt is a feature documentary
about a brutal rape/murder case and a wrongly convicted
man, Darryl Hunt, who spent nearly twenty
years in prison for a crime he did not commit. Both a social
justice story and a personally driven narrative, the film explores
the bitter legacy of race and class in America, and its harrowing impact
on
a man accused. This exclusive look at one man’s loss and redemption
offers a provocative and haunting examination of a community – and
a criminal justice system - subject to racial bias and tainted by fear.
Using the film as a centerpiece, Active Voice has teamed
up with filmmakers Ricki Stern and Annie Sundberg from Break Thru Films
to
create an engagement campaign that fosters accessible, productive
discourse on issues of eyewitness identification, DNA evidence and
wrongful convictions
in specific – and the justice system in general.
Launched in 2005 through a series of public screenings,
this Campaign will be a dynamic resource for civic organizations,
law firms and schools, law enforcement associations, universities
and journalists.
