It was just to sad, because to this day our black boys now are being shot and killed. Hope one day I can go back and watch the full movie. Love and prayers for Ava for her work, and to have counseling on the set was assume. Thank you Ava🙏🏾🙏🏾

    I Think they should look at all the cases of Linda Fairstein. She wanted power and put innocence young guys in jail and she new it was not them. God kept these guys safe and a few angles. My mom use to say everything that is is done in the dark ion what these bad copy detective did should be held accountable. God still stands behind them. They need justice. Where are some the well known large talk shows who can help these guys get their justice to put there story out there. This bring me to tears when there is so much evil in the world. Fairstein and others who of higher power did this. God does not ugly. Can you imagine how many case these people handle. How many are innocent and fabricated stories by all the people who went along with Linda Fairstein. She not a godly women she is someone like the person in office. Jesus’s take the wheel and he has. I watched this movie and i am heart broken for the way justice system does not question and let it go. I’m praying for all five of these guys every day. God got you guy.

    I am a mother of two sons, we were all born and raised in Chicago. When this travesty happened to these men, I was 26 years old. The talk amongst us "Black" people in Chicago was that we were clear that they were being set up! My sons are 25 and 23, currently. It has become so dangerous in the city of Chicago for "Black" males especially, so we finally had to flee. Although we are not quite sure where there is safety, we knew it was no longer there for our family. As the policing becomes more aggressive, anxiety and other illness are also becoming more aggressive among us, including, hopelessness. But isn't that the Plan? Our only way out is God and each other, ourselves.
    I watched this movie-documentary expecting to be angered but what I experienced profoundly exceeded anger. There were moments of eye bulging shock! I screamed and screamed to God, I boo-who cried, I had to watch in increments in order to maintain self-control!! The only thing that kept me from going into depression is that I am choosing to be motivated by these overwhelming emotions to do something, create something to pay it forward, to help us, to be a part of our monumental need to help each other help ourselves. God and us is our way out of condemnation.

Linda fairstein She’ll burn in hell for this. Actually all these cops and people who made these young men go to prison for so long when they knew damn well they were innocent all deserve to go to jail. And lets not forget at the time Donald Trump paid 85000$ ads in different New York magazines to ask for their execution before trial or anything even began. 6 yrs ago he was still tweeting about it and standing by it even though it was proven they were innocent. The same man that is your president right now! American justice system is so broken and scary.

    Black suffering is a biblical prophecy! What did ya think? Something as big as black history suffering wasn't told in the BIBLE? Really? Hamites are the Africans. But who were the slaves? Who went into Egypt? What did God call us in the bible? The bible talks about different people in it. Who was our ancestors in it? Our history is there. We are not just current LIVES WITH NO DEEP HISTORY. People don't go extinct, bloodlines live forever. Our answers, is where we refuse to look. If our answers are in society, why are we still fighting? Shamed from and confused about God, but looking to a society that hate us and is the problem.....for answers and resolve.
