Wrongful Convictions Come to Bhutan

Kinley Zam is one of my Bhutan Current Legal Issues students who put on a movie night Wednesday to educate the community about her chosen topic. She showed the movie Long Shot, the Netflix documentary, not the Seth Rogen comedy. In less than 40 minutes the film shows how someone caught up in the system as a young man can be wrongly accused later in life, and put at risk of being executed for a murder he did not commit. Our students were moved by this high stakes case. As future legal professionals, they were inspired by the defense attorney and how hard he worked to represent his client. Curb Your Enthusiasm's Larry David's filming at a Dodger Game provides a possible alibi, or does it? Watch the film to find out. Thanks to the students who did such a great job putting this on and leading a discussion that lasted longer than the film! A power outage nearly canceled the event, but our resourceful students made it work.
