GaΓ«tan Dugas sits outdoors on a wooden fence or rail beside a lake. He is wearing a green long-sleeve shirt, light blue jeans, and a patterned scarf or bandana around his neck. One leg is crossed over the other, and his hands rest on his knee. Behind him is a calm blue lake with forested hills and trees along the shoreline under a clear sky. Tall grasses and plants are in the foreground.

It took decades to clear his name
This is his story.
