On February 28, 2000, Adnan Syed was convicted and sentenced to life plus thirty years for the murder of his ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee, a high school senior whose body was found buried in a shallow grave in Baltimore, Maryland. Still, Syed has consistently maintained his innocence. Rabia Chaudry, a family friend, has always believed him and has never given up the hope that he might someday be released. Yet, in 2013 after almost all appeals had been exhausted things looked bleak. That's when Rabia contacted Sarah Koenig, a producer at This American Life, in the hopes of finding a journalist who would bring greater attention to Adnan's story and might shed new light on the case. Koenig's investigation turned into the podcast Serial, an international phenomenon and Peabody Award-wining podcast that has been downloaded and streamed more than 60 million times. Rabia Chaudry brought Adnan's case to Sarah Koenig, but there is so much more to learn. Now she delivers Adnan's Story. She will bring to life the voice of Adnan, with his participation and full support, through letters, calls, and visits as two legal teams, his and that of the Innocence Project, as well as countless others, seek to exonerate him and find out the truth of what really happened on that day in 1999.
