Trial by Fire

"Sad, unfair, angering, goose bumps all around - this should have been a mini series. The people who let him down by not doing their jobs should be persecuted themselves. You will cry!"

"watched this in my True Crime class and I loved it, thought the storyline was amazing as well as script and acting"

"THIS WAS INTENSE! Based on a true story. 100% bawled my eyes-holes out. Wrongly convicted and not given the chance to even be proven innocent. What a heartbreaking movie/story! 9/10 ⭐️"

"I remember learning about this in my forensics class in high school. And I think you could see a bunch of young kids get radicalized in an hour. The movie was great."

"So sad this is a true story, but I wasn’t surprised to see how the Justice system acted throughout the movie. I felt his pain and was ****** the whole time that he was not able to get a fair trial. A heartbreaking/eye-opening movie. "

"True story. If you’re for the death penalty- you may not be after this. "

"Sad story, and there are so many more just like it. "

"Based on a true story. Get the tissues ready! "

"A Soul-Crushing Exposé of Justice Denied: OUTRAGE AND HEARTBREAK My eyes still burn with tears, my heart still races with outrage after witnessing the atrocities committed against Cameron Todd Willingham in "Trial By Fire". This film is a devastating, gut-wrenching indictment of Texas justice – a system that knowingly sent an innocent father to his death for a crime that took his three beloved daughters' lives. Laura Dern delivers a powerful performance as Elizabeth Gilbert, a courageous death penalty activist who risks everything to uncover the shocking truth: * A flawed arson investigation with questionable evidence * Prosecutors driven by ambition and disregard for truth * A defense attorney overwhelmed and ineffective * Witnesses coerced into false testimony Jack O'Connell's haunting portrayal of Willingham conveys the desperation, fear, and crushing innocence of a man trapped in a nightmare. His story exposes: * The darkest failures of American justice: corruption, negligence, and irreversible harm * The enduring trauma inflicted on innocent families and loved ones * The urgent need for reform and accountability in our criminal justice system Director Edward Zwick handles this true story with gravity and respect, sparking outrage and demanding change. 4.5⭐️"

"Tragic story of a death row inmate who was proven to be innocent too late. Goes into detail of the controversy and problems surrounding the death penalty. Pretty sad story. "
