The Murder That Never Happened

From award-winning director Catherine Legge, The Murder that Never Happened is a psychological thriller feature documentary and "untrue" crime story about an innocent man on death row (Jimmie Duncan) and the Canadian journalist investigating his outrageous 1998 capital murder conviction for the worst crime imaginable.
