Justice,USA |
Many people talk about criminal justice reform but very few people actually know what the system is really like. JUSTICE, USA puts the audience in the shoes of indigent criminal defendants and takes them inside this world with unprecedented access. Shot over seven months in Nashville, TN, this six-part series for MAX bears witness to people like Kevin Williams who can’t afford a lawyer, exposing the power that lawyers and judges wield. It shows first-hand what “Right to Counsel” looks like when people can't buy their way out, often relying more on luck of the draw than the delivery of justice.
