The Central Park Five - The real story behind the hit Netflix miniseries When They See Us.

In 1989, five black and Latino teenagers (Antron McCray, 15, Kevin Richardson, 14, Yusef Salaam, 15, Raymond Santana, 14 & Korey Wise, 16) from Harlem were arrested and later convicted of raping a white woman in New York City's Central Park. They spent between six and thirteen years in prison before a serial rapist confessed that he alone had committed the crime, leading to their convictions being overturned.

Set against a backdrop of a decaying city beset by violence and racial tension, this hard-hitting documentary tells the story of that horrific crime, the rush to judgment by the police, a media clamoring for sensational stories, an outraged public, and the five lives upended by this miscarriage of justice.

Written, produced and directed by Ken Burns, Dave McMahon, and Sarah Burns.
