The verdict lies with you.
In Minnesota, a former convict who has served time for anything from drug dealing to murder is allowed to seek forgiveness from the Governor. They have 10 minutes to plead their case in a dramatic, pressurized process to gain acceptance back into the fold, or be stuck forever on the outskirts of society. In this interactive world premiere, you will help decide who is worthy of forgiveness.
