The Central Park Five (2012)
Directed by Ken Burns, Sarah Burns, & David McMahon
I guess you can say The Central Park Five is in the same vein as those documentaries made about the West Memphis Three (Of course the Central Park Five didn’t receive as much press but still). The Central Park Five may also be the best documentary in last few years.
A notorious crime — the rape of a jogger in Central Park in 1989 — is revisited in this painful, angry, scrupulously reported story of race, injustice and media frenzy.
This Ken Burns directed documentary os one of those must-see movies that should be on everyone’s list.
Grade: A
