Ava DuVernay‘s fruitful relationship with Netflix has delivered a brand new project based on the story of five teenage boys who were falsely accused by Donald Trump and others of rape.
The Central Park Five.
Let’s get an army of blue up in Harlem; you go into those projects and you stop every little thug you see. You bring in every kid who was in the park last night.”
The series’ name?
‘When They See Us.’
Its trailer awaits below…
DNA evidence gathered at the scene exonerated them…13 years after the case began.
They are Korey, Antron, Raymond, Yusef, Kevin. They are millions of young people of color who are blamed, judged and accused on sight.
Not thugs. Not wilding. Not criminals. Not even the Central Park Five. They are Korey, Antron, Raymond, Yusef, Kevin. They are millions of young people of color who are blamed, judged and accused on sight. May 31. A film in four parts about who they really are. WHEN THEY SEE US. pic.twitter.com/QQBVqo4TYM
