Law On Reels: 'Just Mercy'- A Poignant Tale Of Racial Injustice
Live LawBased on the novel titled "A story of Justice and Redemption" by Bryan Stevenson, the movie "Just Mercy" explicitly brings out the predicaments, controversies and the contentions that are often suppressed by the system engulfing all of us. The movie is based on Bryan Stevenson, an African-American Harvard graduate and his journey to redeem justice for the people on death row in the state of Alabama by establishing Equality Justice Initiative. Naturally, Mr. Stevenson applies for retrial in the court of circuit submitting the evidence of alibi and stating no conclusive proof for conviction for Mr. McMillan. Ten miles from here, black people were pulled from their homes and lynched and nobody talks about it"- This statement by Bryan Stevenson underlines the struggles faced by the blacks over the centuries. Whether we take the example of Atticus Finch of Harper Lee or McMillan of Brian Stevenson or even the recent case of George Floyd, these events unveil the pathetic treatment and persecution of Blacks.
