“The Trials of Darryl Hunt” is a feature documentary about a brutal rape\/murder case and a wrongly convicted man, Darryl Hunt, who spent nearly twenty years in prison for a crime he did not commit. Both a social justice story and a personally driven narrative, the film chronicles this capital case from 1984 through 2004. With exclusive footage from two decades, the film frames the judicial and emotional response to a chilling crime – and the implications that reverberate from Hunt’s conviction – against a backdrop of class and racial bias in the South and in the American criminal justice system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
