Global Visions and Doc Soup present: PRESUMED GUILTY
Make the first film you see of 2010 matter!
Director Roberto Hernandez will be in attendance
January 7, 2010
$10, Metro Cinema, Zeidler Hall in the Citadel Theatre
Presumed Guilty exposes an unsound legal system in which detectives, district attorneys and judges barely investigate whether someone is guilty. They appear to want to close a case as quickly as possible: if they have marked a suspect, he or she stands little chance of getting off. It’s no coincidence that 90% of defendants are found guilty in Mexico.
Strikingly, breakdancer and rapper Antonio remains optimistic despite all this cynicism. Shot with a hand-held camera and accompanied by raw hip-hop beats, the film shows the retake of his trial from beginning to end. Visit the DocSoup Edmonton site for more information.
