Rolling Stone interview with the flimmakers. Pretty interesting. This view is largely reflective of mine as well and is mostly what I took from the series:
Quote:
It was never our interest whether he did it or not; it wasn't what it was about. Our job wasn't about any type of investigation of did he do it or not?...Ours was much more macro. We were taking a procedural look at the system. We have no stake in the outcome of the trial; we have no stake in whether Steven is innocent or guilty...What we were documenting was the procedure that led to the verdicts.
The takeaway is that the American criminal justice system is in peril. We as American people should have concerns about that system...
