The Exorcist and the Executioner

In 1953 Chicago, a daring daylight robbery spirals into a tragic miscarriage of justice. Paul Crump, a young Black man, is swept into a storm of brutality, racism, and coerced confessions by the Chicago PD. Sentenced to death for a murder he swore he didn’t commit, Crump’s fight for survival spans decades—15 execution dates, Supreme Court appeals, and a groundbreaking documentary by a young William Friedkin. This gripping true crime saga unravels systemic corruption, explores the limits of rehabilitation, and questions the price of redemption. Was Crump an innocent man destroyed by the system, or a killer seeking salvation?
