The Fear of 13

The Fear of 13 is a 2015 British documentary film directed and co-produced by David Sington. It tells the story of an American, Nick Yarris, who was convicted and sentenced to death for a crime he did not commit. He spent 22 years on death row before being released in 2004 after DNA evidence proved his innocence.

A stage play of the same name based on the film, written by American playwright Lindsey Ferrentino, was first produced at the Donmar Warehouse in London in October-November 2024, starring Adrien Brody as Yarris.
