60 Minutes (US) S56E22 - The Capital of Free Russia | Healing Justice
Summary:
The Capital of Free Russia – As Russia's 2024 presidential election looms, many of the incumbent Vladimir Putin's political opponents are dead or in exile. Correspondent Scott Pelley meets some of those who defied Putin and were forced to flee to the nearby capital of Vilnius, Lithuania, home to a growing number of Russia's most prominent dissidents. Henry Schuster is the producer.
Healing Justice – It's rare for 60 MINUTES to follow a story for 15 years, but Lesley Stahl reports on Jennifer Thompson, a rape victim who learned years after her attack that an innocent man had been sent to prison, a story Stahl covered in 2009. In this era of DNA exonerations, Thompson has come to believe that crime victims are forgotten, and even blamed, when the justice system gets it wrong. She has created Healing Justice, an organization that brings together the wrongfully convicted, crime victims and family members for multi-day intensive retreats and invites 60 MINUTES to come along as they share their stories and move together on a path of healing. This is a double-length segment. Shari Finkelstein is the producer.
