Two Strikes

Season 2023 Episode 14 | 20m 16s

"Two Strikes," a film produced with The Marshall Project as part of FRONTLINE’s fellowship with Firelight Media, examines the impact of a little-known “two-strikes” law. The documentary tells the story of how a former West Point cadet struggling with PTSD and alcoholism got life in prison in Florida after an attempted carjacking — a sentence that even the victim viewed as too harsh.
