Central Park Five

In April 1989 , a young female was raped, sodomized and brutally assaulted while jogging in Central Park. The “Central Park Jogger” case became one of the most notorious crimes of the 1980's, and the New York City Police Department quickly charged and convicted five teens from the group with the crime.

The film features the five wrongfully convicted teens who are now men and telling their story for the first time.
