“Every generation has its hero. Meet ours.”
Just Mercy unspools the story of Bryan Stevenson, a Harvard-educated lawyer who relocates to Alabama to champion the rights of the marginalized and wrongfully incarcerated. Among his cases is Walter McMillian, a man wrongfully sentenced to death despite overwhelming evidence of his innocence. Stevenson's unwavering commitment to justice, set against the systemic obstacles of the American legal system, forms the core of this sobering drama that highlights the inequities faced by the oppressed.
