Making an Exoneree Showcase

Audiences are invited to Making an Exoneree, a reception and film screening featuring the premiere of five student-made short documentaries that reveal the facts—and falsehoods—of wrongful conviction cases from around the country. Over the Winter and Spring quarters, 15 UCSC undergraduate students in the Making an Exoneree course dedicated themselves to uncovering the truth about these cases. The final short films unravel the unjust convictions of Aaron Addison, Dennis Littleton, Ken Middleton, Frank Perkins, and Taunee Smith, who have spent a combined 126 years in prison.The students hope that by sharing these stories, they can help correct this injustice and bring innocent people home.
