After serving a combined 60 years in prison for crimes they did not commit, three recently exonerated Texans — Christopher Scott, Johnnie Lindsey and Steven Phillips — join forces to form the unlikeliest of investigative teams, on a mission to help wrongfully convicted prisoners obtain freedom like they did. In Jamie Meltzer's hardboiled yet rousing documentary, brotherly bonds are formed out of shared hardships — lengthy prison sentences in a state that executes more inmates than any other. Through the steadfast fieldwork of this grassroots 'dream team,' these Dallas detectives are transforming decades of hard time into a new career helping others just like them. True Conviction premieres on Independent Lens Monday, April 30, 2018, 10:00-11:30PM ET (check local listings) on PBS.
