Murder on a Sunday Morning
111 min.
This award-winning documentary follows the trial of Brenton Butler, a 15-year-old boy who was racially profiled, arrested, and wrongly accused of committing a murder in Jacksonville, Florida. Fortunately, a brilliant public defense team spares him from a life sentence.
