Peabody Award-winning director and investigative journalist Deborah S. Esquenazi tells the powerful story of James Reyos, a gay Apache man wrongfully convicted of murdering a Catholic priest in 1981 in Odessa, Texas. With no leads, police rushed to convict Reyos after he called to confess — then quickly recanted. Despite a complete lack of physical evidence, he was sentenced to 38 years in prison.

Decades later, long-buried evidence surfaces, sparking a renewed fight for justice. With the support of the Innocence Project of Texas, Reyos sets out to clear his name. Harrowing and heartfelt, this moving film follows one man’s struggle for freedom and the community that refuses to give up.
