No Jail TimeLance Oppenheim

“Sentencing videos” is a flourishing phenomenon in the American juridical world. Criminal attorneys contact independent filmmakers – or sometimes take up the camera themselves – to make an empathic mini documentary about their defendants.

This short film will be screened before the feature film The Judge.
