Deadline: The Movie 
This rigorous and stylish documentary delves into the 2002 actions by former Republican governor of Illinois, George H. Ryan, after an investigative journalism class at Northwestern University proved that three men on Illinois' death row were innocent. The question is whether the legal system can keep an innocent man from being condemned to death. The debate is by no means simple, and "Deadline" presents a balanced picture interviewing lawyers, anti-death penalty advocates, politicians and men who've been released from death row.
