A love story. An artistic journey. A matter of life and death... In 2000; Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen embarked on a tour across America -- one that would give them a glimpse of the darker side of the justice system and; at the same time; reveal to them just how resilient the human spirit can be. They were a pair of young actors from New York who wanted to learn more about our countrys exonerated -- men and women who had been sentenced to die for crimes they didnt commit; who spent anywhere from two to twenty-two years on death row; and who were freed amidst overwhelming evidence of their innocence. The result of their journey was The Exonerated; New York Times number one play of 2002; which was embraced by such acting luminaries as Ossie Davis; Richard Dreyfuss; Danny Glover; Tim Robbins; Susan Sarandon; and Robin Williams. Living Justice is Jessica and Eriks fascinating; behind-the-scenes account of the creation of their play. A tale of artistic expression and political awakening; innocence lost and wisdom won; this is above all a story about two people who fall in love while pursuing their passion and learn -- through the stories of the exonerated -- what freedom truly means.
