WRONGED: The Maurice Carter Story

Maurice Carter is wrongfully convicted of a crime he did not commit in Benton Harbor, Michigan, and finds himself ensnared in a unjust legal system. As he spends years behind bars, his hope dwindles, until his case catches the attention of Doug Tjapkes, a former radio newsman who believes he can help. Doug, along with a dedicated group of supporters, embarks on a relentless fight to prove Maurice's innocence, uncovering buried evidence and exposing the deep flaws within the justice system. Their battle against the odds reveals not only the systemic racism and corruption that led to Maurice's conviction but also the power of determination, faith, and the human spirit in the quest for justice.

Director: Nate Roels

This screening will be followed by a panel discussion with filmmaker Nate Roels, as well as Humanity For Prisoners Founder Doug Tjapkes, Executive Director Mark Hartman, and featured subject Duane Williams.
