83 Days(2018)

83 Days is a historical drama based on the true story of George Stinney Jr., a fourteen-year-old African American boy executed in 1944 for a crime he did not commit. Arrested and convicted within weeks of the murders of two white girls in South Carolina, Stinney faced a deeply flawed trial marked by racial prejudice and a lack of adequate legal defense. The film chronicles the rapid, unjust proceedings that led to his execution, making him the youngest person ever executed in the United States. Decades later, a judge would vacate his conviction, acknowledging the trial's fundamental unfairness. This powerful account examines systemic racism in the American justice system and the tragic consequences of prejudice on an innocent child's life.
