Long Shot is a great film, but don't be surprised if you have a little dust in your eye by the end.

Long Shot is a short watch with an interesting celebrity story, but more than that it's a unflinching look at our justice system's flaws through one unbelievable example.

This 40 minute documentary on Netflix is well worth your time. Scary how close an innocent man can come to landing on death row only to be saved by the longest of long shots. Highly recommended.

Finding the proof and evidence that the suspect was not the murderer. FBI/police were dishonest to send an innocent man to life in prison. Short documentary of finding the truth in a homicide.
