Watch this film to find out how and why we're making One For Ten. (OneForTenFilms)

Did you know that for every ten people executed in the United States, one person has been exonerated from death row? One for Ten, a new documentary series, highlights the stories of ten of those wrongfully convicted people in order to show the true impact.

The Topic:

The death penalty was re-instated in the United States in 1976. Since then for every ten people that have been executed, one person has been released from death row after spending an average of ten years in isolation. They have been released because new evidence has proved that they were innocent.

The Format:

'One for Ten' will be a completely new form of film-making, utilising modern video technology, social networking, user generated content and a strong media and charity coalition to make what we like to think of as 'democratic documentary'.

These films will be made 'live', shot in one day, edited the next, and uploaded over night from motel rooms and on the road. This allows our online community to be intimately involved in the film-making process, which is completely unprecedented. We will rely on our community to provide interview questions, music, artwork and ideas as well as being essential to the sharing of the finished films.

When the filming trip is done, we will make all of our high definition footage available for free download, so that charities, organisations, school teachers etc. can use our footage in whatever way they please via a non commercial creative commons license.

The Event:

'One For Ten' is an online series of campaign films that will be produced and broadcast over five weeks in April and May of 2013. During those five weeks, we will travel the width of the US and interview ten individuals who have been freed from death row. Driving from New York to California, we will film with a different person every few days and produce a new short film for release online every Tuesday and Friday.
