Drama N/A
In "Just Mercy," based on a true story, Bryan Stevenson, a young, idealistic lawyer who has graduated from Harvard Law School, decides to dedicate his career to fighting for justice for those who have been wrongfully convicted. He travels to Alabama and sets up the Equal Justice Initiative, an organization focused on representing prisoners on death row, particularly those who cannot afford proper legal defense.
Bryan's first major case is that of Walter McMillian, an African-American man who has been sentenced to death for the murder of a young white woman, despite the existence of strong evidence providing an alibi for the time of the crime. Walter has been convicted due to the testimony of a convicted felon who claimed to have seen him commit the murder.
As Bryan begins to independently investigate Walter's case, he uncovers a web of corruption, racism, and a deeply flawed criminal justice system. He faces obstacles at every turn as he confronts the local authorities, who are resistant to admitting any mistakes and determined to preserve their convictions at all costs.
With the help of Eva Ansley, a local advocate dedicated to fighting for justice, Bryan uncovers crucial evidence that proves Walter's innocence. He also discovers deep-rooted racism and police misconduct in the town's legal system, which has resulted in the wrongful incarceration of many others.
As Bryan fights to expose the truth and overturn Walter's conviction, he faces intense opposition from both the legal establishment and the community, including threats to his own safety. However, he remains resolute and continues to champion Walter's case, believing that justice must prevail and innocent lives should not be taken.
"Just Mercy" explores themes of racial injustice, systemic corruption, and the power of perseverance and hope in pursuing social change. The film provides a compelling examination of the flaws within the American criminal justice system and showcases the inspiring determination of Bryan Stevenson to challenge and correct those injustices.
