This film comprehensively explains the evolution and meaning of the law, presents all sides of the argument, and tells the personal stories of two nonviolent three strikers, whom we feel were unintentionally caught up the system. The film spotlights the story of Charles Ramirez, who was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment under the three strikes law for stealing a car radio. Twelve years into his sentence, he became a client of the Stanford University Three Strikes Project. The Stanford Project helps three strikers serving life for minor, nonviolent crimes appeal for shorter sentences. To date, the Stanford team has won the reversal of sixteen life sentences.
