Hillary Swank’s new movie “Conviction” opens in theaters tomorrow. There is a lot of talk about the movie which took over 10 years to produce. However, all that talk isn’t positive. The family of Katharina Brow, the woman whose murder forms the plot of the movie is very upset.

Katharina Brow’s family is upset over the fact that none of the producers of “Conviction” nor the movies star and executive producer, Hillary Swank took time to come talk to them about the filming. Katharina’s children, Charlie and Melrose took part in a press conference along with their lawyer Gloria Allred.

Gloria Allred explained, “We believe that a proper respect for the murder victim’s family should have been shown… That could have been demonstrated by the film’s representatives contacting the family to learn how they felt about the making of a film which would remind them of the terrible pain and suffering that they endured because of the loss of their mother.”

It appears as though the producers of the movie will give the Brow family a private screening of the film, while also trying to answer any questions or concerns the family may have.

The Movie “Conviction”, is about a man named Kenneth Waters who was convicted of murdering Katharina Brow. He spent 18 years in prison, until DNA evidence showed that the blood samples found at the scene of the crime were not in fact his. Waters was released from prison in March of 2001, but unfortunately passed away that following September. His estate was recently awarded $3.4 million for him being wrong accused and jailed. “Conviction” opens this Friday, October 17th.
