2007 THE ENGLISH SURGEON

Two young Mexican attorneys fight to exonerate José Antonio Zúñiga, a man wrongly convicted of murder. As they document his case, they reveal the deep flaws of a judicial system where suspects are presumed guilty until proven innocent. Their struggle exposes corruption, lack of due process, and the heartbreaking impact of injustice on those trapped in a failing system.
