Wiki.
Me Facing Life: Cyntoia's Story is a documentary film about Cyntoia Brown, a 16-year old sentenced to 51 years for the murder of Johnny Allen. Brown had been forced into prostitution and involuntarily sex trafficked as a minor by Garion "Kut-Throat” McGlothen. Brown claimed she killed Allen in self-defense, adding she feared she was likely to be murdered by him. Prosecutors argued the physical evidence present at the crime scene suggested Allen was asleep at the time of the murder.
This film, detailing her arrest and subsequent conviction, was produced by Daniel H. Birman and premiered on PBS's Independent Lens series on March 1, 2011.
