Producer: In Their Hands LLC via APT

Ronnie Carrasquillo appears destined to die in prison. Forty-seven years after he killed a plainclothes police officer, his life is in the hands of a parole board whose decision-making is swayed by shifting political sands and a campaign by police.�Will the parole board listen to the chorus of voices who insist that a crime committed by an 18-year-old is unforgivable? Or will it side with his family and attorneys, who are urging them to focus on the rehabilitated 65-year-old sitting before them?��These questions animate the gripping documentary IN THEIR HANDS, a story of�one man's fight for freedom that pulls back the curtain on the politics of parole.
