After spending years behind bars, hundreds of people with new and incontrovertible scientific proof of their innocence have been released from America's prisons. The men and women portrayed in Surviving Justice, and the hundreds of others who have been exonerated, are the tip of the iceberg. There are countless others - thousands by all estimates - who are in prison today for crimes they did not commit. These are the stories of some of the wrongfully convicted, who have managed, often by sheer luck, to prove their innocence. Their stories are spellbinding, heartbreaking, unimaginable and ultimately inspiring.
