After admitting to the brutal murder of a beloved local priest, James Reyos recants his confession and spends the next forty years fighting for exoneration. Reyos's compelling case examines the homophobia and racism rife in Odessa, TX, an oil-rich town quick to condemn a gay, Indigenous man to life imprisonment–without evidence. A harrowing true story, Night in West Texas is a must-see.
“I love when true crime stories are presented in a respectful and ethical manner, and that’s exactly what this film does.”
