On December 9, 1991 Rick Walker was convicted and sentenced to 26 years in prison for a murder he did not commit. Linked to the crime by false testimony and questionable legal tactics, Walker would spend the next 12 years in some of California's most dangerous prisons. This documentary is a compelling story of gross injustice, political partisanship and the heroic struggle to prove Walker's innocence. Once exonerated, he would face yet another barrier to justice - the California State Legislature. Entitled to $100 for each day spent falsely imprisoned, Walker would become a pawn in the annual partisan battle over the California budget. Ultimately, this program is about hope - hope that in one man's quest for justice lays the inspiration for our elected officials to govern with the true strength of their convictions.
