Post Conviction, directed by Margaret Byrne, received third place in the Long Short Documentary category at the 2026 San Quentin Film Festival.
The film follows Roosevelt Myles, who spent 30 years incarcerated following a wrongful murder conviction, as he continues his fight for justice and helps others navigating the post-conviction process.
The recognition is especially meaningful because the category was judged by incarcerated people at San Quentin Rehabilitation Center and the Central California Women's Facility. Their perspectives bring a particular significance to this recognition.
The award marks another milestone in the film's ongoing festival and community screening run.
