Shaney 5,515 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Has anyone else seen this amazing "TV" show on Netflix? (four, hour long episodes) I bawled my eyes out three separate times. I've never seen a show hit me so hard like this one. I definitely recommend watching this as it highlights PERFECTLY the racism that exists here in America. Description: "Created, written and directed by Ava DuVernay, this series exposes the breakdown of the U.S. criminal justice system during the Central Park Five case."

Morphine Prince 96,072 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 YES, incredible!!! It had a big emotional impact on me. Please watch this. It is infuriating and sad but so needed to open people’s eyes to the injustices in this world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its like Schindlers List. Its a tough watch but thats exactly why you must watch. I am heartened to see such emotional reactions from viewers. The blatant injustice is being met with sympathy and rage, as it should (as it should have decades ago). But what really surprisex me was this outrage being felt so intensely overseas that THEY are making moves to correct these wrongs over there! Was it a few 10ks of Britons signed a petition to rwmover Linda Fairsteins books from all store? The power "She's an intellectual, your honor" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linda was played perfectly by Vera Farmiga. You know it's a good performance when you develop a visceral hatred of the villain... I know I did!

Nightwing 518 Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Someone was telling me that I should watch this because of how good it was. I don't like watching stuff like this, though, because it makes me uncomfortable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
