A Long Way Home
Jack stands accused of committing probably the worst crime a father can commit against his child; sexual abuse. Having inflicted deep psychological damage on his entire family, Jack must now struggle to win back their hearts. But if the father himself was abused as a child, does this at least explain, though not excuse his crime? And if, deep beneath their wounds, Jack and his family still love each other, can that love prove powerful enough to withstand the sins of the past? Starring Robert Urich (Spenser for Hire) and Meredith Baxter (Family Ties, this emotionally charged drama poses complex and controversial questions as it explores one of the darkest aspects of family life.
Doing Life
Convicted of cop killing, Jerry Rosenberg seemed destined to die in the electric chair. The remarkable and inspirational story of how he turned his life around and fought a very personal battle to get his sentence commuted is told in this compelling drama, starring Tony Danza of Tazi fame. In the early 1960’s, Brooklyn born career criminal Rosenberg faced the death penalty for a double cop killing. But Rosenberg swore he was innocent and set about squashing his conviction. Through a correspondence course in law, Rosenberg even gained a degree, and he went on to establish a considerable reputation for counselling and defending his fellow inmates and to earn the title ‘America’s Greatest Jailhouse Lawyer’.
