Central Park Five is a documentary that revealed the stories of five kids, now adults, whose lives were destroyed by actually being in the wrong place at the right time. The documentary traces the lives of five men: Antron McCray, Yusef Salaam, Kharey Wise, Raymond Santana and Kevin Richardson, who were convicted and years later found not guilty of the assault and rape of jogger Trisha Meili in 1989. justice was given to the five men, it did not restore the teenage years that had been taken from them and the mental torture they had suffered from the city of New York, the media and the police. The story of the case develops chronologically through the stories of the five teenagers from before the investigation to their interviews in the film. Only four of the five exonerated teenagers are interviewed on camera, Antron McCray choosing to participate only in a voiceover in the film. The police, prosecutors and NYPD chose not to take part or appear in any way in the film. As a bystander, the absence of any participation from New York City authorities only demonstrated the lack of responsibility for the destruction of the five teenagers' lives. Late in the evening of April 19, 1989, the Central Park district was buzzing with reports of a group of teenagers wreaking havoc in the park, beating up cyclists and joggers. That night, jogger Trisha Meili was brutally attacked and raped. That night the five teenage boys were tried and convicted and served their full sentences for their alleged crime. Their convictions were thrown out when in 2002 Matias Reyes, convicted of numerous rape and murder crimes, confessed to the assault of Trisha Meili. The economy... middle of the paper... criminal record before the Central Park Case.After watching this movie, it only strengthened the distrust I had towards law enforcement and authorities. The way the media and authorities mistreated these teenagers was absolutely disgusting. The political department and the New York City Attorney's office have never even offered an apology for what they did to those kids, which is not commendable. The fraud of investigators and prosecutors who completely ignored the evidence in their rush to convict and then refused to acknowledge the innocence of the five even after the real rapist had confessed because their careers would be in danger. There is a lot to learn from this film. It convincingly criticizes law enforcement, the Justice Department, and the news media, and in doing so constitutes a powerful response to their wrongdoings in this disgraceful case.BIBLIOGRAPHY
