Warner Bros. announced Monday their movie JUST MERCY will be available on all platforms for the month of June as part of the discussion around systemic racism and the black lives matter movement. The movie starring Michael B. Jordan, Jamie Foxx and Brie Larson is based on the true story of a wrongly accused black man on death row who was later acquitted thanks to activist lawyer Bryan Stevenson. JUST MERCY is a compelling film that should anger everyone over the social inustice the judicial system enacts on black men too often.
JUST MERCY is based on Stevenson's book by the same name. Jordan portrays Stevenson, who became a lawyer specifically to be help black men and women wrongfully accused. Foxx portrays Johnny D. who was convicted and on death row for the robbery and murder of a white business woman. While there was no direct evidence, the police framed the murder on Johnny D using a witness who was given leniacy for his own crime if he testified against an innocent man.
JUST MERCY will be available only for the month of June.
