In 2005, a Missouri court convicted 21-year-old Ryan Ferguson for the murder of a journalist four years earlier, and sentenced him to 40 years in prison. The state had hinged its case on the confession of a friend, who asserted that he and Ryan had been drunk on the night of the slaying, and a vision of the assault had come to him in a dream. The controversial confession and prosecution, as well as the efforts of Ferguson’s father and lawyer Kathleen Zellner to appeal the conviction, are stunningly laid out in this documentary. 109 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital 5.1.
