Donna Hockman is serving a life sentence in a Virginia prison for the shooting of her abusive ex-boyfriend in an act of self-defense. A myriad of photos, 911 calls, and messages documenting the horrific abuse Hockman experienced were ignored by law enforcement and prosecutors. Throughout her trial, the state relied on the testimony of witnesses who have recanted or admitted to lying under oath due to pressure from the prosecution. Through the #MakinganExoneree course at Georgetown University, students reinvestigated Hockman’s case and created this documentary to advocate for her freedom. Hockman, who is a devoted mother of two, advocate, and writer, hopes to someday reunite with her children. Watch the documentary and follow freedonnahockman for more information! #freedonnahockman
