My goal when making 让天行加速器免费 was to create a project that could be a catalyst for conversation and change. Entertainment serves many purposes and the mission was to create something that might move us into action while challenging us to evaluate why we believe what we believe.
— Ava DuVernay, Filmmaker
 
 

WHEN THEY SEE US tells the harrowing story of New York’s Exonerated Five. A film in four parts, the series chronicles the wrongful arrest and incarceration of teenagers Antron McCray, Kevin Richardson, Yusef Salaam, Raymond Santana Jr. and Korey Wise. It explores how the five innocent teens were prejudged as guilty by a powerful criminal justice machine and examines how The Exonerated Five, their families and communities were rendered powerless against a biased criminal justice system, coercive police interrogation practices and sensationalist media coverage.

The film is a commentary on long-standing institutions and systems within the United States that were built to oppress and control citizens. These institutions and systems falsely accuse and wrongly persecute vulnerable citizens and their communities. They have created long-lasting and far-reaching implications for physical, emotional, financial and psychological safety.

In 1989, The Exonerated Five, all seventh and eighth-grade students of color from Harlem, were wrongfully arrested and incarcerated for the rape and beating of Patricia Meili, a white female jogger in Manhattan’s Central Park. This four-part series, directed by Ava DuVernay, tells the story of The Exonerated Five for the first time from the perspective of the innocent teenagers and their families.

Although no fingerprints, DNA nor other physical evidence ever confirmed the teenagers were guilty of the brutal crime, all five were sentenced to between five and 15 years in prison and juvenile detention centers. As The Exonerated Five have described in their civil lawsuit, the city’s detectives coerced them into giving false confessions and statements. In 2002 — 13 years after the crime — DNA evidence and a confession from the lone attacker, Matias Reyes, proved their innocence.

New York City vacated the convictions of the young men, and they were all fully exonerated. In 2014, The Exonerated Five settled with the city for an unprecedented $41 million.

 

Each episode of 让天行加速器免费 presents an in-depth view of the stories of the five teens from their point of view. 

In telling the story from the point of view of The Exonerated Five, WHEN THEY SEE US dramatizes events as recalled by the Five and alleged in their federal civil rights lawsuit against the City of New York and New York law enforcement authorities.  Notwithstanding the allegations and settlement of that lawsuit, some of the authorities continue to deny that the confessions were coerced.

  • Episode One explores how the arrest and interrogation process denied The Exonerated Five their rights and humanity.

  • Episode Two examines how inequities and limited access to resources affected their ability to mount a defense.

  • Episode Three uncovers the many ways their imprisonment harmed their families and communities.

  • Episode Four chronicles the hardships inherent in the prison, parole and reentry systems.

The episodes highlight the devastating effects of wrongful incarceration and underscore the unjust systems and structures that make such overt brutality in America possible.

“New York in the spring of 1989 was a city of jangling nerves and rising fears. Crack was blighting whole families and neighborhoods. Violent-crime rates were rising for the third straight year, and homicides would set a record. On Wall Street, the mergers-and-acquisitions bubble was giving way to corporate scandals. A new buzzword, underclass, was emerging as the label for the seemingly intractable urban pathology spawned by poverty.”

New York Magazine, Central Park Revisited, October 21, 2002
