When They See Us

Chronicle the true story of a notorious case of five black teenagers who were convicted of a rape they did not commit.


Details

When They See Us (2019) is a powerful and gripping miniseries that tells the true story of the Central Park jogger case, a notorious incident that shocked the nation in 1989. The series follows the lives of five black teenagers – Kevin Richardson, Antron McCray, Yusef Salaam, Korey Wise, and Raymond Santana – who were wrongfully convicted of the rape of a white female jogger in New York City's Central Park.

Spanning over a decade, the four-part series explores the harrowing experiences of these young boys, from the moment they are falsely accused to their ultimate exoneration. The narrative focuses on the racial discrimination and prejudice prevalent in the criminal justice system, and the profound impact it has on the lives of the accused and their families.

Created by Ava DuVernay, When They See Us showcases the emotional and physical toll the case takes on the young men, who were just teenagers at the time of their arrest. The series skillfully weaves together heart-wrenching performances and an unflinching portrayal of the injustices they faced.

When They See Us will undoubtedly leave viewers enraged and moved by the devastating consequences of racial profiling and an unjust legal system. This compelling and thought-provoking miniseries sheds light on a dark and significant chapter in American history, and urges us to confront the issues of racial inequality that persist to this day.
