Description
A powerful true story about the potential for mercy to redeem us, Just Mercy is a clarion call to fix America's broken justice system. The US has the highest rate of incarceration in the world, with one in every 15 people born there today expected to go to prison. Bryan Stevenson's journey as a young lawyer is a testament to the enduring power of compassion in the pursuit of justice. Born into poverty in the racially segregated South, Stevenson's innate sense of justice led him to become a brilliant lawyer. His first case, Walter McMillian, a black man wrongly sentenced to death, drew him into a complex web of conspiracy, politics, and racial inequality. This unforgettable account of an idealistic lawyer's coming of age is a moving portrait of the lives of those he has defended. Just Mercy is a thought-provoking exploration of the need for mercy and justice in a system that often fails its most vulnerable members.
