    OUR IMAGE and the Houston Museum of African American Culture (HMAAC) present a special One Night Only Free screening of THE TRIALS OF DARRYL HUNT (runtime 107 minutes). Screening is at S.H.A.P.E. Community Center.

    THE TRIALS OF DARRYL HUNT documents the aftermath of a brutal rape/murder and harrowing wrongful conviction in the modern American South. Told from the point-of-view of three principal subjects -- an enterprising investigative journalist, an unyielding defense attorney, and a wrongfully convicted man -- the film offers an eye-opening, provocative and haunting examination of a community and a criminal justice system both subject to racial bias and tainted by fear.

    Chronicling this capital case from 1984 through 2004, filmmakers Ricki Stern and Annie Sundberg painstakingly frame the judicial and emotional responses to this chilling crime, as well as the implications surrounding Darryl Hunt's wrongful conviction against a backdrop of class and bigotry in America.
