CriminaI went free. OfficiaIs were bribed. Witnesses were threatened. The FBI couIdn't stop it. One woman did.
Pay the man, get out of prison. lt's a sweet deal for the Tennessee officials who let killers and rapists go free for a price. And who wouId have the guts to defy the state's power eIite? No one, except a courageous single mom named Marie Ragghianti. This gripping film teIls the true story of a woman who became head of the Tennessee paroIe board, then stood up to Iies, threats and murder to bIow the whistIe on her bosses - and send many of them, including the governor, to the pen. Sissy Spacek brings Iuminous inteIIigence to the role of Marie, and the remarkable supporting cast incIudes Morgan Freeman, Jeff DanieI and screen-debuting Fred Thompson (later a Tennessee senator) pIaying himself, Marie's reaI-Iife attorney. |
