Two innocent lives. Two wrongful executions.

George Stinney Jr., only 14 years old. Joe Arridy, a man with the mind of a child.

Both were executed by the American justice system— only to be recognized as innocent decades later.

These tragic true stories expose one of the darkest failures in U.S. legal history and inspired the film The Green Mile.
