'My 26-year fight to prove my innocence'
Elation greeted Dontae Sharpe as he walked out of prison a free man, 26 years after being wrongly convicted of murder. But proving his innocence was only the first step on a long road. As he tries to rebuild his life, there's still one thing eluding him.
This documentary was created by Chelsea Bailey, Hannah Long-Higgins and Shrai Popat.
Dontae Sharpe is currently a R.I.S.E. Fellow with Forward Justice where he advocates for criminal justice reform in North Carolina.
