Just Mercy

Based on Bryan Stevenson (Michael B. Jordan)'s memoir, the film follows the young civil rights lawyer as he attempts to free Walter McMillian (Jamie Foxx), a man convicted of murdering a white teenage girl in Alabama in the 1980s, from death row. Believing McMillian was wrongly convicted based on suspect evidence, Stevenson, after graduating from Harvard Law School, works tirelessly to overturn his conviction with the help of local lawyer Eva Ansley (Brie Larson).
