Rick Walker of East Palo Alto served 12 years in prison for a murder he didn't commit. After his 2003 exoneration, he was entitled by law to $100 for each day he was imprisoned - but he soon found himself caught in the state legislature's annual partisan budget battle. $100 a Day recounts the heroic struggle to prove Walker's innocence and bring real closure to his case. Join Walker and others involved in the story for the film's premiere showing and a panel discussion.
