Heroes for a Semester

Marcus Wiggins has been in prison for 14 years, wrongly convicted for a murder he has not committed. A few students from the elite Northwestern University working with The Centre on Wrongful Convictions are his last hope to resolve this miscarriage of justice. This entails a major responsibility for these young people and their search for justice becomes an intense experience that will affect their lives deeply.
