Title: The Central Park Five (The Central Park Five)
Release Date: 2012-05-24
IMDB ID: tt2380247
Vote Average: 7 (120 votes)
Overview: 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. They spent between 6 and 13 years in prison before a serial rapist confessed that he alone had committed the crime, leading to their convictions being overturned. Set against a backdrop of a decaying city beset by violence and racial tension, this is 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.

Crew: Sarah Burns (Director), Ken Burns (Director), David McMahon (Director), Doug Wamble (Original Music Composer),
