STORYLINE: In
1989, five black and Latino teenagers from Harlem were arrested and later
convicted of raping a white woman in New York City's Central Park. They spent
between 6 and 13 years in prison before a serial rapist confessed that he alone
had committed the crime, leading to their convictions being overturned. Set
against a backdrop of a decaying city beset by violence and racial tension, THE
CENTRAL PARK FIVE tells the story of that horrific crime, the rush to judgment
by the police, a media clamoring for sensational stories and an outraged
public, and the five lives upended by this miscarriage of justice.
Documentary will be released in USA on 23rd of
November 2012 and was released in UK on 15th of October 2012 in
London Film Festival.
