Forgiven

Forgiven (2006) is a film directed by Paul Fitzgerald rated 9.0/10.

On the eve of his campaign launch for a seat in the US Senate, a small town District Attorney receives word that the governor has exonerated a death row inmate whom the DA prosecuted five years earlier for the murder of a local police officer. In the wake of the ex-inmate's release and through the prism of the media frenzy, what unfolds is a public vetting of the DA's record. When hard evidence of actual impropriety finds its way into his possession, the exonerated man seeks out the DA for answers.
