Leavenworth is centered on Clint Lorance, who's serving a 19-year sentence for murder at The United States Penitentiary, Leavenworth. While deployed in Afghanistan in July 2012, the former lieutenant ordered fire on three local men riding a motorcycle, killing two of them and outraging his platoon. In a first-hand account of a soldier navigating the U.S. Army's legal system, Lorance seeks to overturn his conviction, provoking emotional debate between supporters and detractors that rises to the national stage. As determinations on Lorance's fate unfold, questions probe not only the merits of his conviction, but analyze the system at large and ultimately test the balance of guilt and innocence in the inscrutable circumstances of today's wars. |

I admit, I knew nothing nor had I ever heard anything about this case prior to watching this documentary. I’m so glad it was created and aired on a major network to reach more people, such as myself, and bring awareness to this case in an unbiased format by presenting the full story, not only with firsthand accounts told from both sides by the people who were directly involved and witnessed the incident, but also with professional opinions from academics and various ranking military officials, allowing the viewer to decide for themselves.
