‘Outcry’ Preview
In 2014, Greg Kelley, a Texas high school football star, was charged, convicted, and sentenced for sexually assaulting a 4-year-old boy in 2013. Showtime’s new investigative documentary series Outcry examines the case, from the controversial conviction to the “quest for truth and justice that followed in the wake of his sentencing.”
The description reads, “Few people experience the momentum that Kelley had going into his senior year in Leander, Texas. That all changed when he was convicted of sexual assault of a four-year-old boy, and sentenced to 25 years in prison with no possibility for parole. But a groundswell of support emerged for Kelley, calling into question the investigation, the prosecution’s tactics and ultimately, the validity of the conviction.”
The first episode trailer shows “Kelley, his supporter Jake Brydon, and Cedar Park Chief of Police Sean Mannix present their sides of the story depicting a juxtaposition of innocence and guilt,” according to Showtime’s press release. It will look at a “raw and divided community over the course of three years as both sides of the appeal process work in pursuit of opposing truths.”
The docuseries is directed by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Pat Kondelis, the man behind other documentaries Operation Appreciation, Polarized, Disgraced, The Radical Story of Patty Hearst, and The Scheme. During the 2020 ATX TV festival, which was held virtually this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Kondelis said Outcry was a difficult documentary to make because they didn’t know what was going to happen with the case as they filmed it.
“It was challenging, very, very challenging because at that point we didn’t know what was going to happen with the case, he didn’t know what was going to happen with the case, but he had been in prison for just about three years at that point and was very eager to get his side of the story out,” said Kondelis (via Page Six).
He also said that what impressed him right away about Kelley was that Kondelis “asked him some very, very difficult questions and he did not shy away from those questions at all.”
“Sitting there in prison, with cameras on you, with somebody you’ve never really met before, asking you very intimate questions, I was impressed with the way that he handled himself and how honest he was,” said the filmmaker.
Outcry airs Sundays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Showtime.
