Netflix is opening up The Innocence Files this April and a new trailer gives us a peek inside.

The series shines a light on the untold personal stories behind eight cases of wrongful conviction that the nonprofit organisation the Innocence Project and organizations within the Innocence Network have uncovered and worked tirelessly to overturn. The nine-episode series is composed of three compelling parts – The Evidence, The Witness and The Prosecution. These stories expose difficult truths about the state of America’s deeply flawed criminal justice system, while showing when the innocent are convicted, it is not just one life that is irreparably damaged forever: families, victims of crime and trust in the system are also broken in the process.

The Innocence Files is executive produced and directed by Liz Garbus, Alex Gibney and Roger Ross Williams; with episodes also directed by Jed Rothstein, Andy Grieve and Sarah Dowland. 

The series premieres on Netflix on 15th April. Here‘s the video:

 

The Innocence Files is available on Netflix UK, as part of an £9.99 monthly subscription.
