About this movie

In 1989, five black and Latino teenagers from Harlem were arrested and later convicted of raping a white woman in New York City's Central Park. The Central Park Five tells the story of that horrific crime, the rush to judgment by the police, a media clamoring for sensational stories and an outraged public, and the five lives upended by this miscarriage of justice.

Can remember being a young girl hearing the news reports and listening to my parents discuss the casses. I always wondered what happened to those boys and if what was said about them was really truthful.

my heart goes out to those men. The justice system took a lot away from them.
