The Trials of Darryl Hunt

August 7th will see the release of the soundtrack to The Trials of Darryl Hunt on Young American, the companion piece to the HBO documentary of the same name. Darryl Hunt is an African-American man who spent twenty years in prison after being wrongly accused of killing a white woman. It hits theaters this summer, which will be followed by a DVD release later this year. I watched this doc a couple of months ago, and it's worth checking out -- HBO really knows how to make great television.

The soundtrack is full of some great names, including Dead Prez, Mark Kozelek, Portatstatic and Spider Loc.

All net proceeds from the sale of this soundtrack will be donated to the Darryl Hunt Foundation, which works to protect wrongly convicted individuals.
