Conviction

“An extraordinary journey of how far we go to fight for our family.”

Betty Anne Waters (Hilary Swank), a Massachusetts wife and mother of two, wants her older brother Kenny (Sam Rockwell) out of prison after his 1983 murder conviction. She has no law degree, so she finishes high school, then college, then law school, with her friend Abra Rice (Minnie Driver) beside her. Tony Goldwyn follows eighteen years of belief, and how much of one person's life it can swallow.
