Coming to theaters this weekend in limited release is the documentary Crime After Crime.
Story Summary from IMDB:
Crime After Crime is about the battle to free Debbie Peagler, an incarcerated survivor of brutal domestic violence. Over 26 years in prison cannot crush the spirit of this determined African-American woman, despite the injustices she has experienced, first at the hands of a duplicitous boyfriend who beat her and forced her into prostitution, and later by prosecutors who cornered her into a life behind bars for her connection to the murder of her abuser. Her story takes an unexpected turn two decades later when a pair of rookie land-use attorneys cut their teeth on her case — and attract global attention to the troubled intersection of domestic violence and criminal justice.
Earlier this year, Oprah Winfrey acquired the doc in a six figure deal for her OWN Network.
