Hồ Sơ Vô Tội - The Innocence Files (2020)

'The Innocence Files' transcends the typical true-crime documentary format, presenting a meticulous, multi-faceted investigation into the systemic failures within the criminal justice system. Eschewing sensationalism, this powerful series delves deeply into the various pathways to wrongful convictions: from flawed eyewitness identifications and unreliable forensic science to prosecutorial misconduct and coerced false confessions.
