Transcript
00:00 Tell me everything that happened.
00:06 The first time I visited Death Row, I wasn't expecting to meet somebody the same age as
00:10 me.
00:11 From a neighborhood just like ours.
00:12 Could have been me, Mama.
00:13 But what you're doing is gonna make a lot of people upset.
00:17 You always taught me to fight for the people who need the help most.
00:21 Your life is still meaningful, and I'm gonna do everything possible to keep them from taking
00:26 it.
00:27 You don't know what you're into down here in Alabama.
00:29 When you're guilty from the moment you're born.
00:32 Guard!
00:33 Mr. McMillan.
00:34 We done here.
00:35 Mr. McMillan, please.
00:36 I was just about to give up when I got a call from a Harvard lawyer looking to start a
00:44 legal center for inmates on Death Row.
00:46 I was in before he even offered me the job.
00:49 You the lawyer?
00:51 Yes, ma'am.
00:53 Thank you so much for driving all the way out here.
00:57 Those lawyers barely make time to call.
00:59 I can't believe you talked to all my people and said you were gonna fight for me.
01:02 I did.
01:03 It'd mean a lot.
01:04 If you go digging in those wounds, you're gonna be making a lot of people very unhappy.
01:12 When people care about a thing that much, they'll do anything to get what they want.
01:16 When I first learned about all this, it was like looking at a river full of drowning people
01:21 and not having any way of helping them.
01:23 You ain't quitting, is you?
01:29 No, sir.
01:33 Each of us is more than the worst thing that we've ever done.
01:39 I know what it's like to be in the shadows.
01:44 This is my dad.
01:45 He did nothing wrong.
01:46 It's never too late for justice.
01:47 You don't want to be a hero.
01:48 It's never too late for justice.
01:52 You're the only one kid enough to fight for me.
01:57 If we can look at ourselves closely, we can change this world for the better.
02:07 We all need grace.
02:09 We all need mercy.
02:11 I got my truth back.
02:16 You gave that to me.
02:17 It ain't nobody gonna take that from us.
