I thought I had watched what was a powerful documentary about injustice in the film "Dream/Killer" recently. Little did I know it was just a warm-up for an even greater injustice documentary. A story that ended up being even more life affirming. This after a quarter century of Michael Morton's life being taken away. Compounding Morton's wrongful conviction was the loss of his wife and shortly thereafter, the estrangement of his young son too.
One can not help but think of the travails of Michael Morton and the Biblical story of Job, so it should be no surprise that a Spiritual event also played into the final chapter of Morton's exoneration. This is a hard to take story with an ultimately uplifting resolution. One goes away realizing criminals without remorse aren't the only ones casting dark deeds. Some otherwise respectable people in places of power may also be turned dark in their zeal and hubris. I highly recommend everyone see this film and make your own judgment. Only a pillar of stone will fail to be moved.
