FACING LIFE: THE RETRIAL OF EVAN ZIMMERMAN

Facets Multi-Media, 1517 West Fullerton, Chicago

When Evan Zimmerman's ex-girlfriend, Kathy Thompson, is murdered on her wedding night, her husband has a perfect alibi - one that makes Evan Zimmerman the leading suspect. Although Zimmerman, 54, proclaims his innocence, he's investigated, arrested, convicted and sent to prison for life. Three years later, with help from law students and professors at the University of Wisconsin Innocence Project - Zimmerman wins a new trial on appeal, and with it a second chance to clear his name. But before that happens, the prosecutor offers him a deal - plead to a lesser charge and go free. FACING LIFE documents one man's choice to reject a tainted freedom in an effort to prove - to his family, friends and everyone else - that he is not a murderer.

As seating is on a first come, first served basis, your early arrival is suggested. No one will be admitted once theater capacity is reached.
