Heroes for a Semester

Poster des Films Im Zweifel schuldig mit fünf Personen, überlagert von roten und weißen Balken wie ein Gefängnisgitter, mit amerikanisch inspiriertem Hintergrund und Text in deutscher Sprache über die Unschuld von Marcus Wiggins im Gefängnis.

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.
