Episode Details

Welcome to the premiere episode of Doc Talk, a new podcast hosted by Oscar-winning writer-director John Ridley and Deadline’s documentary editor, Matt Carey. We’re kicking off with a deep dive into documentary’s power to right a grave wrong in the criminal justice system by helping free a wrongfully convicted prisoner. Only a handful of nonfiction filmmakers has achieved this extraordinary feat, and we are speaking with four of them: Errol Morris (The Thin Blue Line), Joe Berlinger (the Paradise Lost trilogy), Amy Berg (The Case Against Adnan Syed and West of Memphis), and Deborah Esquenazi (Southwest of Salem: The Story of the San Antonio Four).
