When They See Us

Ava DuVernay has an incredible talent for historical storytelling.  Her attention to humanity in cinematography is unmatched.  As “Selma” made real the experience of Dr. Martin Luther King, “When They See Us” tells the story of the lives, families and community of the wrongfully accused boys known as the Central Park Five.
