CBS’s 60 Minutes airs a special postseason edition this Sunday, July 13, 2025, at 7:00 PM ET/PT, featuring two powerful stories that spotlight personal resilience and cultural pride. Each segment, updated from previous broadcasts, offers fresh insight and emotional depth.
The hour opens with a rare double-length report titled Healing Justice, led by correspondent Lesley Stahl. It revisits the extraordinary journey of Jennifer Thompson, a rape survivor whose mistaken identification sent the wrong man to prison—a story originally covered by 60 Minutes in 2009. Years later, after DNA evidence exonerated the man she had wrongly identified, Thompson made it her mission to bring together both victims of violent crimes and the wrongfully convicted.
In this updated segment, Stahl follows Thompson as she hosts a Healing Justice retreat, where people from both sides of devastating legal errors come together to share their experiences and begin the process of emotional recovery. With raw, honest conversations and moments of reconciliation, this story offers a rare look at the human cost of wrongful convictions—and the courage it takes to seek healing across deep divides.
The second segment, Lowriders of New Mexico, features correspondent Bill Whitaker as he travels to Española, New Mexico, the unofficial lowrider capital of the United States. Once viewed as a symbol of rebellion and trouble, lowriding in this community has transformed into a cultural celebration. Whitaker meets car owners, artists, and community leaders who use their vibrant, customized vehicles to honor Hispanic heritage and foster community pride.
Through conversations with long-time enthusiasts and younger generations keeping the tradition alive, the story reveals how these custom cars have evolved into moving canvases and symbols of identity. From intricate paintwork to slow-rolling parades through town, the lowriders of New Mexico have become ambassadors for a misunderstood art form that now commands national respect.
Together, these segments deliver an evening of compelling storytelling that highlights the strength of the human spirit and the enduring power of cultural expression. 60 Minutes continues to offer stories that matter—told with depth, dignity, and heart.
