Abstract
The University of Maryland's 2008 Symposium on Documentary Film and the Law featured a screening and discussion of Omar and Pete, Tod Lending's compelling 2005 documentary of two men's efforts to return to their communities after serving substantial prison terms. In this essay, I compare narrative and cognitive strategies at work in Omar and Pete and those a lawyer might use in representing a person like Omar or Pete in a sentencing proceeding.
