Ava DuVernay’s When They See Us, a Neftlix mini-series starring John Leguizamo as the father of Raymond Santana, the young Latino of the labeled Central Park Five, who was convicted of a crime he did not commit. Also starring are Freddy Miyares (Elementary) and Marquis Rodríguez (Iron Fist), who both play the role of Raymond Santana at different stages of his life.
A story we should never forget. On the night of April 19, 1989, a brutal rape occurred in Central Park, setting off a chain of events that went on to capture the nation’s attention and forever alter the lives of five teens who were wrongly accused of the crime. Thirty years later, When They See Us highlights one of the most shocking and catalyzing instances of injustice in recent decades. Academy Award® Nominee Ava DuVernay brings the full stories of Antron McCray, Yusef Salaam, Raymond Santana, Jr., Kevin Richardson, and Korey Wise to life as they unfold over the four part limited series.
When They See Us will be streaming on Netflix on May 31.
