Just Mercy

Rating:12A

After graduating from Harvard, Bryan had his pick of lucrative jobs. Instead, he heads to Alabama to defend those wrongly condemned or who were not afforded proper representa­tion, with the support of local advocate Eva Ansley (Larson).

In the years that follow, Bryan becomes embroiled in a labyrinth of legal and political maneuverin­gs and overt and unabashed racism as he fights for Walter, and others like him, with the odds - and the system - stacked against them.
