April 24, 201312 yr Member Not sure if anyone saw this doc on PBS last week (or had seen it in the theatre last year), but I finally had the chance to watch it last night. To say that it angered up my blood is an understatement... THE CENTRAL PARK FIVE, a new film from award-winning filmmaker Ken Burns, tells the story of the five black and Latino teenagers from Harlem who were wrongly convicted of raping a white woman in New York City’s Central Park in 1989. The film chronicles The Central Park Jogger case, for the first time from the perspective of these five teenagers whose lives were upended by this miscarriage of justice. P.S.: For those who are interested in tuning in, the entire doc is up on the PBS website...
April 24, 201312 yr Member Thanks VH, I'll check it out... docs like this and Paradise Lost (and many more) are always sad.
