Earlier this year, Whittley, and his team, brought us Amazing Grace, a concert documentary of Aretha Franklin's historic and important live recording in Los Angelis in 1972.
In the Brian Banks story, despite the lack of evidence, Banks gets railroaded through a broken criminal justice system and sentenced to a decade of prison and probation. Years later, with the support of Justin Brooks and the California Innocence Project, Banks fights to reclaim his life and fulfill his dreams of playing in the NFL.
Whittley, an SBI grad, serves as the movies Executive Producer. The Brian Banks story opened in theaters everywhere on August 9. The movie has even received a ringing endorsement, via twitter, from Oprah.
