A compelling account of a miscarriage of justice, media frenzy, and people's susceptibility to pressure and prejudice.
Bermuda Docs Review: Ethel ****

Jack the Giant Slayer, an updated retelling Jack and the Beanstalk, is a breezily enjoyable blast of sword-wielding fantasy that shies away away from epic and settles for entertaining.
