Just Mercy
Biography, Crime, Drama

A powerful and thought-provoking true-story, Just Mercy follows young lawyer Bryan Stevenson and his history-making battle for justice. After graduating from Harvard, Bryan heads to Alabama to defend those wrongly condemned, with the support of local advocate Eva Ansley. One of his first and most incendiary cases is that of Walter McMillian, who was sentenced to die for the murder of an 18-year-old girl despite evidence proving his innocence. In the years that follow, Bryan becomes embroiled in legal and political maneuvering and overt racism as he fights for Walter and others like him.
