New Netflix series When They See Us hits home for viewers

The four-part series When They See Us tells the real story of the 1989 Central Park Park Five case, in which five teens were coerced into confessing to the rape of a white female jogger. Many are applauding director Ava DuVernay for her portrayal of the story and for shining a light on racial injustice.

The men we now know as "The Exonerated Five" share their truth in #WhenTheySeeUs and with the @NYTimes. https://t.co/Tk2MAya8gT pic.twitter.com/OgxXnO3JmI

“My hope is that @WhenTheySeeUs invites you to think about the overall criminal justice system and all of the people ensnared in it. That it invites people to think about the millions of cases that are not dissimilar in many ways from what you'll see." – @ava #WhenTheySeeUs pic.twitter.com/OIXaFkxhw1
