A powerful and thought-provoking true story follows young lawyer Bryan Stevenson and his history-making battle for justice. After graduating from Harvard, Bryan had his pick of lucrative jobs. Instead, he heads to Alabama to defend those wrongly condemned or who were not afforded proper representation, with the support of local advocate Eva Ansley. One of his first and most incendiary cases is that of Walter McMillian.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

wonderful and sobering submitted by kwolney on July 17, 2020, 5:23pm This is a wonderful adaptation of the Book Just Mercy. It is a sobering look into the life of Bryan Stevenson, founder of Equal Justice Initiative, and the epidemic of mass incarceration and death penalty in the united states.

So Good submitted by majean on August 17, 2020, 2:16pm I have not read the book, though it has been recommended to me several times over the past few years. (So many books, so little time...) So I was glad to be able to watch the film. The work of this man and this organization is so important! Definitely a must watch film for 2020.
