Falsely Accused in Maximum Security to Amazon Prime

From Wrongful Conviction to Filmmaker: Mack Lindon's Unstoppable Rise

Mack Lindon was a registered nurse with a calling for the creative arts — until a false rape accusation at 26 shattered everything. In this raw and deeply moving conversation, Mack shares how a wrongful conviction, 19 months in maximum security prison, a retrial, and a corrupt justice system couldn't stop him from becoming a filmmaker, streaming platform founder, and storyteller fighting for truth in entertainment. From launching Rise and Rise of the Underdog (now heading to Amazon Prime) to creating Miami X — a family-friendly crime drama filmed right on the Gold Coast — and building his own streaming service MovieSense, Mack is pioneering a new way of doing things on his own terms. He opens up about his faith, his marriage, childhood trauma, his battle with drugs and alcohol, and what it really takes to pursue your calling when the whole system is working against you.
