The Wronged Man
Would you give up 20 years to prove a stranger's innocence?
Directed by Tom McLoughlin
Produced by Sony Pictures Television, Lifetime
A earnest, character-driven drama about systemic injustice and redemption, anchored by a paralegal's 22-year crusade to free a wrongfully convicted man and the deep friendship forged through their struggle.
Janet Gregory, a single mother with a haunting past, is a paralegal struggling to overcome doubts about Calvin Willis, an African-American husband and father wrongfully accused of raping a neighborhood girl. Eventually convinced of his innocence, Janet takes Calvin's pro bono case and wages a dramatic and stormy 22-year battle with the justice system that ultimately redeems an unjustly accused man and cements a life-long friendship.
