Kim Kardashian West:

The Justice Project

This new two-hour documentary follows reality TV personality Kim Kardashian West as she undertakes a passion project: fighting to secure freedom for Americans she believes have been wronged by the U.S. justice system. She became an advocate for such inmates after learning of Alice Marie Johnson, an elderly black woman serving a draconian life-plus-25-years sentence as a first-time nonviolent offender. The film follows Kardashian West as she undertakes other, similar cases that appear to reflect miscarriages of justice.
