Arclight La Jolla (Auditoriums 4 & 5) Cinema Chat and Introduction begins 15 minutes prior to screenings Discussion follows screening Jury Award Winner, Documentary Feature, 2014 Austin Film Festival A True Story Based on Lies…. ONCE UPON A CRIME: THE BORRELLI-DAVIS CONSPIRACY Seven years ago director Sheldon Wilson set out to tell a story involving crooked cops, a mafia Godfather, murder, a public poisoning, Elvis Presley, prison gang leaders and a cocaine-addicted newspaper editor who printed it all. As it turns out, this was just the beginning of the story. ONCE UPON A CRIME: The Borrelli - Davis Conspiracy, follows the extraordinary story of two innocent men whose lives are torn apart solely because of their race. Mike Borrelli, an Italian-American NYPD detective and his partner Bob Davis, one of the first African-American detectives in New York, are convicted for committing first-degree murder for one of New York's most notorious crime bosses. But Mike Borrelli and Bob Davis are innocent. Law enforcement agents know it too, but they are hell bent to connect the murder to the mafia; incredibly, they give the known gunman immunity and place him into witness protection in exchange for his false testimony against the two officers. This film reveals the shocking details of this unimaginable injustice as the filmmakers embark on a tireless search for the one known gunman, still in hiding. Not Rated. Running Time: 108 Minutes PLEASE NOTE: Prior to our presentation of ONCE UPON A CRIME (at 4:00pm and 7:00pm), we will be premiering the San Diego State University shorts ADAM FOR YOUR LABORS and GRADS OF WRATH, underwritten by our Reel Relief and Directors Circle Members. | |
