「司法應該是要被人相信的，但顯然它不是。」當你看見摯愛的家人在新聞上被誣指為殺人兇手時，你也願意義無反顧地相信他嗎？
徐自強1995年捲入一起綁架撕票案，在死牢裡待了16年，被判過7次死刑，曾想著死亡是一種解脫，只盼望在死前再見上家人一面，而每天晚上，都曾是他的最後一個夜晚，拖著腳鐐，那段人間煉獄的日子佔據了他一半的人生。
經歷一次又一次令人失望的判決，他對這世界只有絕望與憤怒，但家人的信任與廢死聯盟執行長林欣怡的一句「我相信你」，讓他慢慢放下憤怒，決定與司法對抗。如今的徐自強，只期盼透過自身的經歷，換起社會對司法、人權議題的重視。「我沒有什麼夢想，我只希望不要再有下一個徐自強。」

For most people, it's hard to imagine what it feels like to be on death row. For Tzu-Chiang Hsu, however, he had spent 16 years of his life in prison, awaiting execution for a crime he didn't commit. In this heart-wrenching talk, Hsu describes what his days were like living in a constant state of uncertainty, hatred, and mistrust, and why he is determined to transform Taiwan's criminal justice system.
