Complicit

A gripping, investigative documentary that uncovers the human cost of the mandatory Joint Enterprise and Felony sentencing laws in Australia, the USA and the UK. It raises profound questions about the search for justice, both for victims and the convicted.

Complicit is a gripping and thought-provoking feature documentary that explores the complexities of ‘guilt by association’ laws in the USA, UK and Australia that often result in the severe punishment and sentencing of individuals only tangentially involved in a crime. In the film, we speak directly to the convicted, the victim’s families and to the world’s leading legal experts who advocate both for and against reform across these regions, taking the viewers into a complex, riveting and controversial world where truth is often murky, justice is subjective, and the legal system grapples with its own imperfections.
