Plot synopsis
Unfortunately, legal and judicial mistakes are not rare in our society. Results of various statistical studies show that around 5% (40 thousand people) of sentences persons meet the definition of convicted by mistake. Often times these mistakes destroy the whole life of an innocent person. Why do they take place and who is responsible for them? In the documentary «Guilty without Guilt» we will tell the real stories of people, who got behind the barbed wire mistakenly. Based on the examples of several stories, the authors will seek to bring to light the weaknesses of the Russian justice, and will even prepare a peculiar «instruction» on how a victim of such a mistake shall behave.
