CONVICTION Synopsis: Two-time Academy® Award winner Hilary Swank (Million Dollar Baby, Boys Don’t Cry) stars in Conviction, the story of the unwavering bond between brother and sister who made a solemn promise to always be there for one another, no matter what. When her older brother Kenny (Sam Rockwell) is arrested and sentenced to life in prison for murder, Betty Anne Waters, a Massachusetts wife and mother of two, dedicates her life to overturning the murder conviction utilizing the newly burgeoning science of DNA testing. Convinced that her brother is innocent, Betty Anne puts herself through high school, college and finally law school on her quest to help her brother. With the help of Abra Rice (Academy Award nominee Minnie Driver), her best friend and de facto partner in the effort to free Kenny, Betty Anne seeks the help of famed lawyer Barry Scheck (Peter Gallagher) and his organization, The Innocence Project. Pouring through suspicious evidence mounted by Officer Nancy Taylor (Academy® Award nominee Melissa Leo), a small town cop who went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that Kenny was convicted, Betty Anne meticulously retraces the steps that led to Kenny’s arrest. Over the course of nearly two decades, Betty Anne and her team uncover facts and evidence that ultimately set the defining legal precedent of DNA use in the American justice system.
