Ava DuVernay expertly dramatizes the injustices faced by the Central Park Five in this searing miniseries. When They See Us is based on the true story of five young men who were coerced into confessing to the assault and rape of a jogger in Central Park. By utilising a talented young cast, including Jharrel Jerome and Asante Blackk, to bring viewers inside the lives of these young men whose childhoods were snatched away from them, DuVernay adds a new layer of intimacy to the real life trial.
