Kwame Ajamu, his older brother Wiley and their friend, Ricky Jackson were raised in Cleveland in the 1970’s. As teenagers, they had their lives ahead of them until they were accused of a brutal robbery and murder in May 1975. A twelve-year-old boy, Eddie Vernon told the police, Kwame, Wiley and Ricky were the culprits. At just seventeen-years-old, Kwame was tried as an adult and the three teenagers were sentenced to death; a sentence that was thankfully commuted to life in prison. After twenty-eight years, Kwame was released on parole and began his investigation into what really happened that day. He enlisted the help of investigative journalist, Kyle Swenson who uncovered the truth. This revelation was powerful enough to free Wiley and Ricky from prison and exonerate all three men after thirty-nine years. Kwame was finally reunited with his brother and friend. **This film is under non-exclusive license from Off The Fence. All rights reserved.
