Just Mercy Study Guide Preview

About Just Mercy

Based on the bestselling book of the same name by Bryan Stevenson, the film Just Mercy presents the stunning true story of Walter McMillian, a black man convicted and sentenced to death in Alabama in 1988 for a crime he did not commit. The film illustrates the structural racism endemic to our capital punishment system, and lays bare how this system devalues and cheapens all human life.

How to Watch: Just Mercy is available for streaming on digital platforms including Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Google Play, and more!
