Free Screening of Film Conviction at UNI March 24

 

The Innocence Project of Iowa, the MacLin Institute for Psychological Science, the American Democracy Project, and the Graduate Program in Public Policy will co-sponsor a screening of the Fox Searchlight feature film Conviction beginning at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 24, in Sabin Hall Room 002 on the UNI campus.  The film chronicles the true story of Betty Anne Waters' 18-year effort to put herself through college and law school to challenge the wrongful conviction of her older brother, Kenny.  Kenny Waters was exonerated in 2001 with assistance from the national Innocence Project after spending over a third of his life in prison for a crime he didn't commit.  The film, which was recently released on DVD, stars Hilary Swank and Sam Rockwell.  The screening is free and open to the public.  More information is available at www.iowainnocence.org.

Wrap up the course by providing me with a summary of your knowledge and experience. In the process, you can also address these questions if you'd like: How was this course for you? What, for you, are some of the most important things you learned? Will/have any of these things impacted your real life, or future? If so, what and how?
