Special event in Bremen, with director Nele Dehnenkamp and the Bremische Straffälligenbetreuung association
Michelle marries her childhood friend Jermaine at Sing Sing maximum security prison near New York in 2007 - in the hope that he will soon be released. Since Jermaine was convicted of murder in 1998, Michelle has been trying to prove his innocence. She is now a single mother of two teenagers, works as a painter and is committed to educating the public about miscarriages of justice in the US. For years, Michelle's everyday life has been a state of emergency, consisting of short phone calls with her husband in prison, appointments with her lawyer and appearances at solidarity events. Now documents have emerged that reinforce doubts about the testimony that was crucial to the trial at the time. Michelle's hopes of being released soon are revived.
Nele Dehnenkamp got to know Michelle, an African-American, through a non-governmental organization and accompanied her in her struggle over a period of nine years.
