Just Mercy
In 1988, attorney Bryan Stevenson courageously chooses to fight injustice, armed with nothing but a Harvard law degree and the resolve to help people whose lives are literally on the line.
Based on the true story of young lawyer Bryan Stevenson (Michael B Jordan) and his history-making battle for justice.
After graduating from Harvard, Bryan might have had his pick of lucrative jobs. Instead, he heads to Alabama to defend those wrongly condemned, with the support of local advocate Eva Ansley (Brie Larson). One of his first, and most incendiary, cases is that of Walter McMillian (Jamie Foxx), who, in 1987, was sentenced to die for the notorious murder of an 18-year-old girl, despite a preponderance of evidence proving his innocence and the fact that the only testimony against him came from a criminal with a motive to lie. In the years that follow, Bryan becomes embroiled in a labyrinth of legal and political manoeuvrings and overt and unabashed racism as he fights for Walter and others like him 鈥� with the odds and the system stacked against them.
