The story of the battle to free Debbie Peagler, an incarcerated survivor
of brutal domestic violence. Over 26 years in prison cannot crush the
spirit of this determined African-American woman, despite the injustices
she has experienced, first at the hands of a duplicitous boyfriend who
beat her and forced her into prostitution, and later by prosecutors who
cornered her into a life behind bars for her connection to the murder of
her abuser. Her story takes an unexpected turn two decades later when a
pair of rookie land-use attorneys cut their teeth on her case -- and
attract global attention to the troubled intersection of domestic
violence and criminal justice.
Director: Yoav Potash Stars: Deborah Peagler, Tennille Williams and Joshua Safran
