'Trials' takes center screen

By Amy Zhang | October 24

Justice sometimes can be elusive. As the documentary "The Trials of Darryl Hunt" attempts to depict, justice might take about 20 years, two convictions, DNA testing and the perseverance of a wrongly incarcerated man and his defense team. The documentary will be shown at 7 p.m. at the Sonja Haynes Stone Center for Black Culture and History. The event is a part of the Center's Diaspora Festival of Black and Independent Film and is co-sponsored by the UNC School of Law and its Innocence Project and Death Penalty Project.
