Conviction (2010)

Truly amazing story of a woman, without even a high school diploma, working for years to become a lawyer to work on overturning her brother’s conviction for murder. After spending 18 years in prison, he was finally exonerated due to her diligence and belief in him. I mean, wow.

Not only is the story itself amazing, the film is well-done and resists the sweeping music and emotional button-pushing that is usually found in films like these.
