25 Years of Innocence

Jan Holoubek’s first feature film is a probe into the difficult realities of Poland in the 1990s, when the problem of the injustice of jurisdiction was completely neglected. The victim of a miscarriage of justice was an ordinary young man, Tomasz Komenda, who was sentenced to 25 years in prison for the rape and brutal murder of a young girl. His innocence was proven only after a long 18 years of struggle for survival in prison. (3Kino Fest)
