Truth Has Fallen. The innocent imprisoned

“Truth Has Fallen” is a 60-minute documentary that examines the cases of three individuals who were wrongfully incarcerated for murder and sheds light on weaknesses in the US justice system. 

With the help of James McCloskey and his organization, Centurion Ministries, these convictions were ultimately overturned. 

Employing innovative painted animation, “Truth Has Fallen” investigates why these three individuals were wrongfully convicted and suggests reforms to the United States justice system that could help to reduce the rate of wrongful convictions.
