The Last Defense

True crime docu-series produced by Viola Davis that explores and exposes flaws in the American justice system through emotional, in-depth examinations of the death row cases of Darlie Routier and Julius Jones.

In 1997, Darlie Routier, wife and mother, was sentenced to death for the brutal stabbing murder of her two young sons, a crime she insists she did not commit.

Now 20 years on death row in Texas, the contentious debate over the fairness of her trial is more polarised than ever.

In 2001, Julius Jones, a 21-year-old African-American college student with an academic scholarship, was sentenced to death for the carjacking murder of a white father of two, in Edmond, Oklahoma.

Twenty years later and having exhausted his appeals, Jones maintains his innocence.

Rust Valley Restorers

Nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains is one of the most unique car communities in the world: Rust Valley.

You can't miss it: acres upon acres of old and abandoned cars; a junkyard as far as the eye can see.

And at its heart is a remarkable restoration shop run by a team of colourful and charismatic characters who use their impressive skills and experience to restore, trade and sell classic cars – transforming piles of rust into collectible car treasures.

Old-school auto collector Mike Hall, his pal Avery Shoaf and son Connor Hall go the extra mile to restore retro cars - and hopefully turn a profit.
