TV Mini-Series “When They See Us” is based on real events that took place in New York in 1989. It was a time of racial prejudice and discrimination against black people in the country. Indeed, they were often often guilty of various crimes, but often they attributed all conceivable and unthinkable crimes. One such crime formed the basis of the plot.
In Central Park, a white girl was brutally raped and beaten, finding herself there alone after dark. Instead of a real investigation of the crime, law enforcement agencies are guided only by racist prejudices and grab the first five black guys that came across who were in the park on an unfortunate day.
Suspected teenagers claim that they are not involved in this crime. Moreover, there is strong evidence of their innocence. However, this does not bother anyone, and the guys are imprisoned for different terms – up to 13 years. It was a real scandal. However, a particularly loud echo followed over the years, when a real rapist who committed that crime appeared … However, the broken fates of five black guys can no longer be corrected.
