Lesley Hoyt-Croft is a documentary filmmaker for the Arizona Justice Project. Her 2009 film, “LIFE: The Bill Macumber Story” and her 2018 film about Louis Taylor called “This Damn Town,” have been shown and won awards in festivals in the U.S. and around the world. “Justice delayed is justice denied,” is the legal maxim fitting for the men portrayed who spent 38 years (Macumber) and 42 years (Taylor) in prison for crimes they did not commit.
On a lighter note, her award-winning screenplay, “Princess Di and the Lesbians,” is a dramedy about women’s friendships, hockey, love and justice. Lesley started playing hockey (and not very well) at a “later age” and her experiences in the locker room and out were the inspiration for this story.
