Surviving Injustice

How would you cope if you spent 14 years in prison for a crime you did not commit? How would you pass the time? Who would stand by you? What would you miss the most? What happens when Cookie is released? From Love Island to prison reform.

Maintaining innocence in prison does not make you popular, and if it’s for a crime against a child, you are the lowest of the low. What happens when Cookie is sent to prison for a crime she claims she did not commit?

Cookie’s baby son Petee died tragically, suddenly and without explanation. Months later the police knock on the door, and her life is turned upside down for a second time.

Meet Cookie, a woman convicted of the murder of her baby, a crime for which she has consistently maintained her innocence. Season One of Surviving Injustice tells Cookie’s story. In this three-part series, we follow the sequence of events that led to her imprisonment and the fight to clear her name. Coming soon, on November 27th 2018.
