'The Trials of Darryl Hunt' (DOCUMENTARY) In 1984, a shy, smiling, 19-year-old black kid
named Darryl Hunt was wrongly convicted of the rape and murder of a
white woman and sent to jail for life. What followed was a 20-year
legal nightmare, an unbelievable theater of disgust involving smug
white lawyers, lots of Christian racists, ignored DNA evidence,
intimidated witnesses, gullible TV news reporters, the North Carolina
and United States Supreme Courts, and, at the end of it all, the actual
killer. Every American should see this movie. (Northwest
Film Forum, 1515 12th Ave, 267-5380. 7, 9:15 pm, $5$8.50. Through Aug

Saw this at SIFF last year. It is really good, powerful and frightening to witness.
