Sembène Film Festival: True Conviction

Join us for a screening of True Conviction presented by Sembène–The Film & Art Festival. This program will be followed by a Q&A discussion with one of the subjects of the film, Christopher Scott. (Run time: 1hr 24min) After serving a combined sixty-three years in prison for crimes they did not commit, Texas exonerees Christopher Scott, Johnnie Lindsey and Steven Phillips form the unlikeliest of investigative teams—helping wrongfully convicted prisoners obtain freedom through the emergence of DNA evidence or new information.
