WHEN THEY SEE US (2019) TV Mini-series Trailer 2: The Central Park Five Stand Trial For A Violent Crime [Netflix]

When They See Us Trailer 2

The second TV Mini-series trailer for When They See Us (2019) has been released by Netflix. The teaser trailer for this mini-series was atmospheric. This trailer expands upon that in every way and is excellent. Some of the police and prosecutor actions in this mini-series are unbelievable (and I hope are not true). People want to believe the honesty and probity of law enforcement. This mini-series shows the length that NYPD Blue and city prosecutors went to gather suspects and obtain a conviction in the case, regardless of testimonies and facts.

When They See Us‘ plot synopsis: “Based on a true story that gripped the country, WHEN THEY SEE US will chronicle the notorious case of five teenagers of color, labeled the Central Park Five, who were convicted of a rape they did not commit.

The four part limited series will focus on the five teenagers from Harlem — Antron McCray, Kevin Richardson, Yusef Salaam, Raymond Santana and Korey Wise. Beginning in the spring of 1989, when the teenagers were first questioned about the incident, the series will span 25 years, highlighting their exoneration in 2002 and the settlement reached with the city of New York in 2014.”

Ava DuVernay had this to say about The Central Park Five and When They See Us:

“In 1989, five black and brown teen boys were wrongly accused of a crime they did not commit and branded The Central Park Five, a moniker that has followed them since that time. In 2019, our series gives the five men a platform to finally raise their voices and tell their full stories. In doing so, Korey, Antron, Raymond, Kevin and Yusef also tell the story of many young people of color unjustly ensnared in the criminal justice system. We wanted to reflect this perspective in our title, embracing the humanity of the men and not their politicized moniker.”

Ava DuVernay‘s When They See Us stars Jovan Adepo, Michael K. Williams, Vera Farmiga, John Leguizamo, Felicity Huffman, Niecy Nash, Blair Underwood, Storm Reid, Christopher Jackson, Joshua Jackson, Omar J.
