Destin Daniel Cretton, Andrew Lanham | The powerful story and story of “Just Mercy” follow the young lawyer Brian Stevenson (Jordan) and his historical struggle for justice. After graduating from Harvard, Brian may have chosen a lucrative job. Instead, with the support of local lawyer Eva Ansley (Larson. ), She went to Alabama to protect the prisoners. One of the first and most painful cases was Walter McMillian (Fox), who was sentenced to death in 1987 for the murder of a well-known 18-year-old girl, despite convincing evidence to prove his innocence and the fact that his only testimony came from a villain lies. In the following years, Brian fell directly into the fray of maneuver, politics and racism as he fought for Walter and others like him, and the opportunity – and the system – was up to them.
