Making a Murderer

This new documentary series on Netflix traces the life of a man who was falsely imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit.  DNA exonerates him and he is released.

He lives a gritty life--in a rusty trailer on the compound where his family runs a salvage yard.  He has a low IQ, but comes across as an honest person.

When he is, shortly after his release, accused of murder, the entire series focuses on the trials and family dynamics.  It's an excellent series about the plight of being poor in America.
