When They See Us Netflix

[Denver]

Anybody seen it?

It's a powerful drama series about 4 black teenagers and 1 Larino who were wrongly accused of the Rape of a jogger, it shows how they were forced into admitting to a crime they never did.

Such a fantastic series and very well acted and certainly got the message across

No, hadn't heard of it, sounds interesting though, is it based on a real story?

Yes it is based on a true story but they had to spend their full sentence in prison but when the real rapist came forward they erased all history of the conviction and they were awarded $41m
