Fullplot:

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.

Ad velit voluptate ex corrupti blanditiis voluptate. Reprehenderit numquam consequatur rerum doloremque iure nam quidem aliquid. Perspiciatis vero perspiciatis accusantium.

Dolor necessitatibus ratione dolorum. Rerum earum nisi autem suscipit temporibus consequatur. Ullam nam corporis ullam quasi nobis repudiandae odio. Voluptate optio quae asperiores totam.
