Ask an Exonoree
Nick Yarris
Jun 2026
Filmmaker Jessica Sanders engages in a remote dialogue with Nick Yarris, who discusses his experiences surviving 22 years of solitary confinement following a wrongful conviction. The project leverages a clean split-screen interview format to contrast Yarris's lived perspective on isolation with the social distancing measures implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic. Produced by GREATERGOOD, the piece incorporates archival photography documenting Yarris's 1982 conviction and subsequent 2004 exoneration. The documentary also features behind-the-scenes footage from the production of After Innocence, utilizing live-action techniques to bridge past historical records with contemporary interview footage.
