"I didn't do it."

01.28.2020


Chris has reprised his part as Derek Bentley, one of the numerous victims of the British Justice, on the anniversary of Bentley's hanging. Derek Bentley was hung for a crime he didn't commit in January 28, 1953 despite the conjugued efforts of his parents, lawyer and public opinion to prove that he was innocent. His story was told in the movie Let Him Have It in 1991, in which Chris was already playing the part of Derek Bentley.

This video is a campaign video for the law practice and charity APPEAL which fights for miscarriages of justice and demands reform. It features an older Chris playing an wrongfully convicted prisoner tangled in the British Justice that can't bring him the means to defend himself.
