The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Outcry is a 2020 documentary television miniseries written and directed by Pat Kondelis about the real-life story of high school football star Greg Kelley, who was arrested, jailed, and wrongfully convicted for sexual assault of a 4-year-old boy, and his highly vocal support system that pushed back in their quest for truth and justice. The Showtime mini-series premiered on July 5, 2020. Into Greg Kelley's senior year in Leander, Texas, he was arrested, jailed, and convicted of sexual assault of a four-year-old boy who attended day care in the home where Kelley was living. A second boy recanted his outcry on the stand during the trial. Kelley was sentenced to 25 years in prison with no possibility for parole. In support of Kelley, a groundswell emerged of people who called into question the small-town police force, their investigation, the prosecution's tactics, and ultimately the validity of the conviction in one of the most controversial cases the county had ever seen. Kelley was completely exonerated in November 2019. "This does not feel like freedom at all," said Kelley, before his exoneration. Complete exoneration by the Criminal Court of Appeals in Texas is very rare. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
