Nature of the Crime
Stream on December 10
A HBO Original documentary titled “Unraveling Justice: Inside the U.S. Parole System” delves into the intricate workings of the American parole system. The film focuses on two individuals, Todd Scott and Chad Campbell, who were both imprisoned for serious crimes committed during their teenage years. Having been eligible for parole for more than a decade, neither man has yet received the board’s approval for release. The documentary offers an in-depth look at the lives of these men, detailing their childhood experiences and the factors that contributed to their involvement in crime and imprisonment.
This movie delves into whether these specific individuals merit a second opportunity in life, and if that chance might actually materialize for them. As the filmmakers delve deeper into the intricacies of parole processes, viewers will gain knowledge from former parole board members whose roles are often influenced by politics and conducted in private settings. With Todd about to face his 6th parole hearing and Chad on the verge of his 10th, Nature of the Crime serves as a reflection on a justice system that must uphold fairness while also showing compassion towards prisoners who have been granted a potential second chance. Although many inmates are allowed to present their case, the majority are ultimately rejected and must continue serving their sentences in prison. Nature of the Crime will be available for streaming on Dec. 10.

Under the pen of Jonathan Abrams and helmed by Clint Eastwood, the movie titled “Juror #2” offers a gripping legal drama centered around Justin Kemp (portrayed by Nicholas Hoult), a juror on a high-stakes murder case. As a family man, journalist, and former alcoholic, Justin finds himself facing an ethical predicament that could influence the jury’s decision, with the potential to either condemn or exonerate the wrong person. The heart of the trial revolves around James Michael Sythe (played by Gabriel Basso), who stands accused of murdering his girlfriend, Kendall Carter (Francesca Eastwood), following a heated argument at a bar on the night her body was discovered.
That very night, Justin collided with something while driving under the influence, mistakenly believing it was a deer as he failed to spot anything on the road. As a juror now, his doubts linger, but revealing this truth could devastate his life and that of his wife Ally (Zoey Deutch). This film, already garnering critical acclaim, boasts performances by Toni Collette, Chris Messina, Kiefer Sutherland, and J. K. Simmons.
