Is this Court TV Death Penalty movie worth watching?

[tflon]

OK so one of my gung ho activist-type friends just sent me (and
everyone she knows!) an email about an upcoming Court TV movie that is
supposed to be really moving, good, important, and yada yada. Her
organization is spreading the word, partly because death penalty was
front page news this week. I'll spare you the whole email (It's like
two pages!), but I just cut and paste the main details...

Court TV Premieres Original Movie "The Exonerated" Thursday, January
27th at 9 pm. STAR-STUDDED CAST FEATURES SUSAN SARANDON, DANNY GLOVER,
AIDAN QUINN, BRIAN DENNEHY, DELROY LINDO AND INTRODUCES DAVID BROWN,
JR. The Exonerated premiere will air commercial-free...the cinematic
adaptation of the award-winning off-Broadway play of the same name
focuses on the stories of six innocent people who spent years on death
row before being set free.

So the thing is that it looks really interesting and I love the topic
and most of the actors, but the thing is although Susan Sarandon is a
great actress, she kind of rubs me the wrong way. I don't know why. I
mean, I'm really glad she's active, but she and her husband seem so
smug about it. Does anyone out there agree/know what I'm talking about?
Sometimes I think outspoken members of the Hollywood community do more
harm than good!!
