“THIS RIVETING AND DEVASTATING DOCUMENTARY follows the sustained efforts of two land-use attorneys who decide to take on the case of a woman incarcerated for years due to her role in the death of an abusive boyfriend. It relates a great miscarriage of justice—but also one of heroic legal perseverance, with a surprisingly colorful cast of characters.”-New York Magazine CRITICS' PICK
“IT'S HARD TO IMAGINE A BIGGER BOMBSHELL being dropped in the lap
of the Los Angeles District Attorney's office than "Crime After Crime.”
-Variety
“...A TREMENDOUSLY MOVING STORY, strong in social commitment and deftly woven out of years of footage.”
-The Hollywood Reporter
