Dream/Killer
“Convicted of murder, based on a dream”
In 2005, 20-year-old Ryan Ferguson was convicted and sentenced to 40 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. dream/killer is the story of how his father Bill embarked on 10-year campaign to prove Ryan’s innocence. The film is chock-full of incredible characters. From the questionable District Attorney Kevin Crane, and the highly-confused witness Chuck Erickson, to the high-powered Chicago attorney Kathleen Zellner, the doc depicts both a highly flawed justice system, as well as one that can work brilliantly.
A gripping, infuriating, and ultimately hopeful look at a father's decade-long fight for his son's freedom. It's a deep dive into the justice system's flaws and the power of unwavering dedication.
