The Big Picture As any fan of the true crime genre will know, the wheels of justice turn slowly and oftentimes miss the mark completely. From victims not receiving a fair ending to corruption nailing the wrong person for the crime, the stories that come from the genre are rife with unjust moments. In her latest film, Miranda’s Victim, director Michelle Danner , will share with viewers the story of how one of the most well-known laws in the American judicial system came to be.
For some backstory, Miranda’s Victim is a dramatized historical telling of how the Miranda warning became part of the vernacular. Most people will recognize the first two sentences of the warning - “You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you in court.” The act came following a 1963 case in which a suspect wasn’t given legal counsel at the time of his arrest for the kidnapping and sexual assault of a young woman.
In Collider’s exclusive clip, viewers will see the heartbreaking moment when eighteen-year-old Trish Weir is forced to describe the man who kidnapped and sexually assaulted her. Doing her best to recount the most traumatic event of her life, Trish walks the detective through the moment that she was tossed from his vehicle following the assault.
Who Else is in 'Miranda’s Victim'? Along with Breslin, the drama also features performances from Ryan Phillippe , Luke Wilson , Emily VanCamp , Taryn Manning , Kyle MacLachlan , Mireille Enos , Nolan Gould , Brent Sexton , Enrique Murciano , Josh Bowman , Sebastian Quinn , Michael Mulheren , Andy Garcia , and Donald Sutherland .
