Conviction is a thought-provoking, heart-breaking, and inspiring film focusing on Jeff Deskovic's fight from being wrongfully convicted at the age of 16, to being a successful law school grad and advocate for systemic change following his exoneration. Deskovic served 16 years in prison, where we thought he would have no chance at freedom. Once proven innocent and released, Deskovic moved on o live his life, graduating from law school and pursuing a career in exonerating others who have gone through experiences similar to his. This film was thought-provoking in the sense that it makes you question everything about the U.S. criminal justice system. It makes you wonder just how many innocent people are wrongfully in prison at this very moment. Deskovic's story was truly inspiring, in that despite his long sentence, he continued to live the life he had always wanted while also shedding light on his experience. He also serves to help others like him, in order to combat the many obstacles of the justice system. It was heart-breaking to hear about what he had gone through while being incarcerated, but even more so to know that he continues to have issues adjusting and coping to the aftermath of his conviction. This film truly highlights the number of problems that plague the way the U.S. carries out justice and the way it chooses to punish. More exonerees need their stories to be told so that the world is made aware of their experience and just how often wrongful convictions happen. So many stories have been swept under the rug, and it is the time for them to be brought to light. All in all, I hope this film inspires others to learn more about wrongful convictions as well as to help support and advocate for exonerees.
