The film premieres tonight at the Wisconsin Film Festival in Madison, Wisconsin. The events took place in Madison in the late 1970s and early '80s, so needless to say there's great excitement here.

Gov. Jim Doyle, who was then the district attorney who prosecuted the case, will be in the audience with his buddy who wrote the book, also called "Winter of Frozen Dreams."

The film will be shown in a theater at Madison's Sundance Cinemas for at least a week starting April 10.
