Conviction

After her colorful brother Kenneth Waters (Sam Rockwell) is convicted of a heinous murder and armed robbery in 1983 in this powerful, uplifting, factually based, star-dotted (Minnie Driver, Melissa Leo, Juliette Lewis, Clea DuVall, and Talia Balsam) film, tenacious Massachusetts housewife and part-time bartender Betty Anne Waters (Hilary Swank) sacrifices her marriage and children when she decides to get her GED and eventually a law degree in an attempt to exonerate her sibling despite his 18 years of imprisonment with the help of a lawyer (Peter Gallagher) from the Innocence Project.
