Chasing the Dream

Brotherhood & Clemency Part 1 | The Power of a Pardon Ep. 4

Season 2021 Episode 4 | 7m 12s

Two brothers spent 28 years in prison for a crime they did not commit and seek justice.

While most states allow those serving a life sentence access to parole, that's not the case in Pennsylvania where Dennis and Lee Horton, two brothers, spent 28 years in prison for a crime they did not commit. Despite their innocence and determination to better the prison institution from within, the Horton brothers know that their freedom can only be determined by the power of a pardon.
