[ [link removed] ][IMG]John,
Every day, innocent Black people are imprisoned in our country, but we
rarely see their stories on the big screen. That’s why I’m so proud to
have had an opportunity to work on Just Mercy, a film that hit theaters on
January 10 and tells the story about modern day hero Bryan Stevenson and
his Equal Justice Initiative. [ [link removed] ]Will you join us to see the film in
theaters?
As an actor and producer on the film, with my company Outlier Society,
this is a story that I know has real implications in our world
today. Authentic storytelling can serve as a powerful deterrent to the
fear and racism that drive our justice system. When faced with the human
emotion and devastating impact of injustice, we must demand change. We
must work together to keep the story from repeating itself.
We hear too often of individuals who face or challenge unjust charges in
the news. Meanwhile, entire families, communities and whole generations
have been swept up into these necessary fights for freedom.
The story of Just Mercy is one of community, justice and redemption on
death row. It's the story Black communities across the country face with
evolution of slavery: our criminal justice system.
Just Mercy will bring the full story out of the shadows and I hope you are
able to come out on this weekend to see what hope and fight looks like.
[ [link removed] ]See you in theaters,
Michael B. Jordan
