DVD | Murder On A Sunday Morning

Murder On A Sunday Morning is a damming, but riveting documentary on the American justice system. It focuses on the murder of a white tourist in Florida, by an unknown black assailant.

Several hours later the Police pick up a black teenager and charge him with the murder – even though the only similarity between him and the description given by the sole witness was the colour of his skin.

A confession is beat out of him and Patrick McGuinness, a chain smoking defense attorney is allocated the case. What at first seems like an open and shut case soon turns out to be a horrific miscarriage of justice as McGuinness discovers that the police did nothing that could be called an investigation. They essentially picked up a black male and framed him.

Bold and exceptional, this is a documentary that will get you thinking afresh about justice.
