Forgiven (2005)
On the eve of his campaign launch for the U.S. Senate, District Attorney Peter Miles receives word that the governor has exonerated Ronald Bradler, a death row inmate whom he prosecuted five years earlier for the murder of a local police officer. In the wake of Bradler’s release and through the lense of the media frenzy surrounding the high profile case, what unfolds is a public vetting of Peter’s record. When hard evidence of actual impropriety on Peter’s part finds it way into his possession, Bradler seeks out Peter for answers. The movie is a compelling and energetic political drama, focused on accountability, moral absolution and the consequences of political arrogance and racial inequality.
