Fascinating true-life tale of a corrupt justice system
“Dream/Killer” is a gripping documentary about a teenager wrongly arrested for murder. A few years after the murder of a Columbia, Missouri sports editor, 19-year-old Ryan Ferguson was fingered by a childhood friend who claimed he saw the crime in a dream. Though Ferguson assumed that the law would eventually exonerate him and he’d soon be released, his arrest began a long nightmare involving corrupt cops, judges, and attorneys. Without any physical evidence, Ferguson was convicted and sentenced to 40 years in prison.<br /><br />The film consists of interviews with Ferguson himself, his father Bill — largely responsible for persevering to prove his son was railroaded — and wrongful-conviction defense lawyer Kathleen Zeller. The case contains some amazing twists and turns, making for a dramatic accounting of how the system failed an innocent individual.<br /><br />Director Andrew Jenks has a problem with consistency of tone, with editing that veers from the no-nonsense recounting of events to the oddly light manner of interviews. Highlighted effectively, however, is the willful disregard of the law by people charged with enforcing it. This is a real-life horror story.<br /><br />There are no bonus features on the DVD release.

Here is a brief synopsis of the title : When teenager Ryan Ferguson was wrongly arrested for the brutal murder of a local journalist, he assumed that the law would run it's course and he'd soon be released. But it turned out to be only the beginning of a long nightmare involving corrupt police, judges and attorneys - resulting in years of unjust incarceration. Told through the eyes of Ryan's devoted father, whose persistent amateur sleuthing saved his son from a life- time in prison, Dream/Killer is a case with more twists and turns than a Dickens novel, and one that reveals innumerable, disturbing issues in the American justice system..
