Overview
The American criminal justice system is pretty different in real life to the way it appears on TV. Your average person may not know it, but there are actually a lot of injustices going on behind the scenes.
Bryan Stevenson is an American lawyer with plenty of hands-on experience working inside America's prisons and courtrooms. In Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption, Stevenson takes a hard look at the system that's meant to safeguard its citizens' rights, but has become a cruel way to mistreat vulnerable members of society.
