Just Mercy
Every generation has its hero. Meet ours.
Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton
Produced by Netter Productions, Outlier Society
A earnest, morally urgent legal drama about systemic injustice and redemption, grounded in real events and driven by the human bonds between lawyer and client.
The powerful true story of Harvard-educated lawyer Bryan Stevenson, who goes to Alabama to defend the disenfranchised and wrongly condemned — including Walter McMillian, a man sentenced to death despite evidence proving his innocence. Bryan fights tirelessly for Walter with the system stacked against them.
