REEL SOUTH
Night in West Texas
Season 11
Episode 1101
After a gay Apache man is convicted of murdering a closeted priest in 1981 West Texas, new leadership in Odessa reopens the case four decades later. Unprocessed fingerprints and emerging suspects expose corruption, homophobia, and racism. Embedding with the Innocence Project, the film follows a rare alliance seeking justice in a state where exoneration is painfully rare.
