Just Mercy

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 Stevenson, played by Michael B. Jordan, fights tirelessly for Walter with the system stacked against them. Alongside Eva Ansley, played by Brie Larson, Stevenson combats social injustices in criminal law and practice, particularly in the case of Walter McMillian, whose conviction hinges on the testimony of a convicted felon.
