In 1989, five black and Latino teenagers from Harlem were arrested and later convicted of raping a white woman in New York City's Central Park. They spent between 6 and 13 years in prison before a serial rapist confessed that he alone had committed the crime, leading to their convictions being overturned. Set against a backdrop of a decaying city beset by violence and racial tension, THE CENTRAL PARK FIVE tells the story of that horrific crime, the rush to judgment by the police, a media clamoring for sensational stories and an outraged public, and the five lives upended by this miscarriage of justice.
潮派纪录片,聚焦种族偏见、司法漏洞、青少年犯罪,mtv剪法与对archival的认真求索对比并融合。其中confession videotape不由得勾起对wen ge的联想,而事件本身引发的关于死刑的讨论与无从消解的种族认知被无数次的“we are not good people”叩问,望向各种解读。
people can be so ignorant and so wrong the worst thing is they wouldnt admit even they know they have done something really wrong.
