The Innocent is a terrific short film that tackles a difficult issue - of subject misidentification in the legal system.
The story line follows a young person who is misidentified by two witnesses and wrongly convicted of a bank robber, yet we see who the actual robber is.
Excellent product by middle school students. Good camera work; good audio work; good editing; good casting. This short film really serves as a PSA for this important issue as we can easily see the problem that created the misinformation. Well done.
The film's message is about how easily misidentification comes about in today's judicial system.
I give The Innocent 3.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 12, plus adults. By Marissa S., KIDS FIRST!

With crime and courtroom scenes, "The Innocent" tells the story of a young person who was misidentified by two witnesses and wrongfully convicted of a bank robbery. In the American criminal justice system, wrongful conviction because of misidentification is unfortunately not new, but in this film, middle school students bring a fresh perspective and highlight the importance of the topic for all.
