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.

Movie Reviews

Screen International - 10/10 by Lee MarshallIt's a gripping story that comes in a well-crafted package.
Scene-Stealers.com - 10/10 by Abby OlceseIf hindsight is 20/20, the amount of perspective the film's talking heads provide practically amounts to a telephoto lens. It provides a comprehensive and detailed telling of a long-term, complicated series of events.
Philadelphia Inquirer - 10/10 by David HiltbrandIt's a vivid and gripping documentary (although, at two hours, somewhat longer than it needs to be), a grave indictment of a city and a system at the breaking point.
Denver Post - 10/10 by Lisa KennedyThe doc is rife with smart or wrenching or shameful moments. The fresh interviews with the accused, now men, are invaluable.
AALBC.com - 10/10 by Kam WilliamsA heartbreaking expose' about a rush to judgment which ruined five, innocent young lives.
New York Press - 10/10 by Jennifer MerinExclusive interviews with former heads of Israel's counter terrorism agency reveal insiders' analysis about the country's policies. Fascinating. Frightening.
Thrillist - 10/10 by Thrillist Entertainment StaffThe Central Park Five dissects the political and social tension that turned an already shocking series of events into one of the most racially charged moments in New York City history.
Indiewire - 9/10 by Eric KohnWith an editing approach that seamlessly blends past and present, Central Park Five contains a fluid, engaging storytelling that does away with the dry voiceover commentary and theatrical music choices that typically account for the narrative flow of most Burns films.
NPR - 9/10 by Mark JenkinsIts greatest advantage over the book is that this is a story well-documented in moving pictures. In addition to recent interviews with the five, the filmmakers deftly marshal news footage, clips from the supposed confessions, and trenchant analysis.
Boston Globe - 9/10 by Wesley MorrisIf the second hour or so isn't as strong as the first, it's because the filmmaking fails to rise to the injustice that's befallen its subjects since their exoneration. It can't, really.
