Just Mercy
“I think the injustices of our judicial system are out of control,” says actor Michael B. Jordan emphatically about the reasons that led him to star in “Just Mercy,” a film about the tireless Das Ende der Wahrheit fight of lawyer Bryan Stevenson for the rights of African Americans incarcerated in the US
And it is that since he graduated from the prestigious Harvard University in 1985, Stevenson has dedicated his life to helping African Americans that he considered had been unjustly imprisoned, many of whom had also been sentenced to death.
“This is something that has been happening for too long, and continues to happen today,” said Wonder Woman Bloodlines B. Jordan in an interview with Efe, who expects “Just Mercy” to hit theaters in the US. Next January 10, get people to “think a little differently and start being part of the change.”
Specifically, the film, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and also starring Jamie Foxx, Rob Morgan, House of the Gorgon Tim Blake Nelson and Brie Larson, narrates the case of Walter McMillian, an Alabama citizen who was convicted of murder despite having an alibi , since he was in a celebration with dozens of neighbors at the time of the crime.
In 1988, McMillian was sentenced to death based solely on the testimony of an inmate who claimed to have seen him carry out the killing, and who was later shown to have been pressured by the authorities themselves to give that information.
It was not until 1993, after spending six years in prison, that he was released after Stevenson and his team’s investigations and thanks to appeals.
