Just Mercy

In the United States, everyone has the right to legal protection, but very often it happens that your lawyer has absolutely no interest in saving you. But Brian Stevenson is absolutely not like that. He is a gifted black lawyer who has worked his way into the elite of American jurisprudence. And the boy is ready to direct all his talent to the fight for equality. Brian will defend those who cannot afford a good lawyer to seek justice. A lawyer will take on even the most hopeless cases - that's how fate brought him to death row convict Walter McMillian. One must judge first of all with the heart, because at any moment any of us can find ourselves in the place of prison inmates. Read more The film is based on real events.
