NIGHT IN WEST TEXAS

In 1981, the nude body of a beloved Catholic priest was found bound and mutilated in a seedy motel room in Odessa, Texas. A young gay Apache man, James Reyos, confessed to the crime but later recanted. Despite his recantation, Reyos was swiftly convicted and sentenced to 38 years in prison. Decades later, a local police chief uncovered buried evidence that would have exonerated Reyos in his original trial. With the support of the Innocence Project of Texas, Reyos prepares to fight to clear his name once again. This documentary delves into the cracks in the American justice system and the journey of one innocent man seeking justice.
