Based on a true story.
In 1960, three women were murdered at Starved Rock Park. With no suspects, police targeted 21-year-old Chester Weger—a young dishwasher coerced into confessing to a crime he didn’t commit. After six decades behind bars, Chester’s fight for truth and redemption continues.

We’re bringing his story to life through Chester—a scripted short film currently in pre-production. Your support helps us share his powerful journey and expose the injustice he endured.
