Sundance Selects has bought the United States rights of ‘A Murder in the Park’ directed by Shawn Rech and Brandon Kimber. The documentary had its world premiere at the 2014 DOC NYC, and after the screening, the film garnered positive reviews from both audiences and critics.

The documentary portrays the death row issue of Anthony Porter. Due to the intervention of Northwestern University journalism class, his life gets saved just 48 hours before the scheduled execution. The investigation of the class on the double murder in the park leads to the discovery of Alstory Simon, and his confession helps to exonerate Porter.

As per the filmmakers, lots of suspicious things are surrounding this case, and they argue that Porter is guilty in this case. Alstory Simon is innocent, and both of them are part of a big game beyond our imagination.

Sundance Selects is planning to release the film later this year.
