- Опубликовано: 29 мар 2015
- From 1991, our profile of Rubin "Hurricane" Carter. The young African American boxer was on his way to a world title fight. But before that he became involved in a miscarriage of justice. In 1966, in Patterson, New Jersey he became a victim of racism and framed for murder. Carter might have spent his entire life in prison, except for an idealistic band of Canadians who decided to take up his cause. Hana Gartner profiles Carter and chronicles the struggle to clear his name.

The truly saddest part of Rubin's story is the people who framed him were never brought to justice.
I agree with you on that.
@@johngluck6938 me too they never found the men who did it
@@jimaustin3361 9/10 when they never find the men who done it. It was done by you know who
@@Wh4L205 you mean the cops?
Don't feel so bad there was never any REAL consequences for SLAVERY either!! 🇺🇸👌🏻
Thank you Bob Dylan for showing me this story through your beautiful music!
carter should have had been compensated for his time in prison: the U.S. Constitution has an article on this matter! An apology is not enough in this case as he was innocent always!
@@teddytadd7457 new evidence points to him being guilty not innocent.
Bob Dylan stopped singing thus song after the second trial, because there was overwhelming evidence that showed he was guilty.
@@Shadoefax760 All the old evidence showed he was guilty too. Rubin Carter has more evidence against him than anyone would imagine.
@@CoolhandLukeSkywalkr he's completely guilty, the only reason he got out is because they made a lot of noise & evidence was destroyed so they couldn't reexamine the case. It's why he's never been cleared of charges, I forget the term but he acknowledged guilt to be set free. He did it & an fooled an entire generation. He may have remorse, he may have changed his ways but it doesn't absolve him from his crimes & he got Man's justice which failed to keep him locked away but he can't escape gods judgement.
Those Canadians are angels sent from above there's no other explanation for this .
Amen, I agree. God ordained it all for His glory..
Except they didn't exist in real life. Try actual researching history and not just watching movies. So much of that movie was incredibly false. Rubin was a violent criminal who probably did do the crime.
@@tonalambiguity3345 You just a bad mouther
God is most merciful.
Just can't accept a Black man was innocent and done wrong by your system ran by White supremacy.
The film and this documentary makes me believe it was seriously some cosmic-connection going on. I mean just knowing a group of people from another country...just stumbles upon meeting a child, who will later pick up a book and be so inspired by it (same person who was illiterate) and decided to send that one letter that would spark a relationship that would later PROVE Rubin Carter's innocence where he may have died in prison for a crime he didn't commit. That is undeniably beautiful right there.
I was literally just thinking the same thing, I agree with you on that.
+Mark Hazleton Cosmic connection? No, it is Divine Intervention from GOD, don't you SEE? GOD always has a purpose & his judgement comes upon the wicked, & justice & freedom is given to GOD'S CHILDREN; and it is just like GOD said unto us that, The wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just! GOD puts certain people in our lives as an extraordinary reminder of his LOVE FOR US through others, just like he puts us in other people's lives as a reminder of his LOVE FOR THEM! I do definitely agree that it is beautiful how GOD works, just like GOD'S LOVE FOR US! JESUS LOVES YOU!
ilililhy1 to me it's the same thing. God / Cosmos...it's all together.
I agree that was beautiful and divinely ordained by God..... It was all suppose to happen for what ever reason just like it did.....
+ilililhy1 It's time you stop bombarding us with this God missile. Why should God permit such devilish behaviour to happen in the first place? I believe we are cosmologically interdependent one toward another in this universe, and we fail to act in accordance to the law of the nature.
I can personally relate to Rubin Carter´s experience. I spent 14 years in prison for a crime that was fabricated, staged, and led by the City Police. I didn´t have any money, nor friends...noone knew about my situation.I just did my time. Not trying to prove anything here. Just that I can relate.
I'm so sorry for you have been through this horror sir!!
May you be blessed, brother. There’s no replacing that time that was STOLEN from you, but it is my prayer for you that your years to come will be filled with much love, great memories, peace of mind and joy.
Contact Mr Carter's law firm for legal misjustice ,, take care
I'm sadden and sorry to learn you did time for a crime you never committed. God will make things right on your behalf.
You a strong individual sir.
Sorry, my ignorant self just saw on Wikipedia that this great man passed away in 2014. R.I.P. Hurricane.
I had no idea!
Rip:- Hurricane
Rip king 👑
This story is very relevant, refreshing and hopeful for anyone who maybe faced with disparity ❤ 5/16/2023
These Canadian guys are so amazing. So amazing to the point that I now believe their likes have never been seen in this world. If we could get a little more of their kind in this world, they would truly have made the change we are so desperately in need of. They are true human beings.
This story changed my life. Beautiful people really do exist
Mine too
You read The 16th Round?
For the people here who say he was guilty, look at the way he talks and expresses himself and cries. This is an innocent man and his story is truly inspiring.
No, look at the way he talked in the 60s about getting guns and shooting cops. Lok at the way he writes in his autobiography about wanting to shoot anyone who crossed him. Look at the way he beat up and hospitalized a woman who was helping support him when on bail. Carter in the 60's was a violent psychopath and the evidence placed him at the scene of the Lafayette Bar murders, a revenge killing following the murder of his friend Eddie Rawls stepfather in another bar earlier that evening.
Man the Hurricane is such an inspiration guy.. His story made me cried a puddle of tears..
I agree. Thanks to Dylan I discovered the Rubin. Started researching it. If that was today the people involved in the case would be thrown in jail themselves
@@melmiller9507 why?
ArtOfFalconry I'm not saying he does or doesn't deserve anything but I do suggest looking up Carolyn Kelley's story. Both she & her son worked hand to hand with Rubin to prove his innocence & the stories she has are very eye opening. The stories will def change the way you look @rubin unfortunately.
;)
@@artoffalconry5162 new evidence suggests he's guilty not innocent. I don't know whether he's guilty or not, only the people there that night & the victims know for sure. But the new evidence points towards Carter being guilty or at very least being there when it happened.
This story/movie opened my eyes to truly understand how life works... there is no denying there was simply a divine intervention that made this whole story possible. RIP Hurricane
and free all the innocent black men who are jailed for being black
Proof Canadians are the friendliest ppl ever!!!
ok so let me say soemthing here.... Mike Tyson rapes an underaged girl and lost a series of matches as well. Yet, people still has respect for him?
also, Rubin Hurricane was exonerated in the end therefore was proven to be innocent of a crime that he seemingly did not commit.
so ur just ignorant in a sense.. :S
***** then that just proves how ignorant you are because you idolize a man with a criminal record and deem Rubin to be scum because ge got exonerated with the help of Canadians....
so do you believe he was guilty of murder? Tyson had been also arrested for assault charges as well...
+tony lennon I do too. There was something
ctse26 i realize you people are all the same.
Firstly, my sons middle name is Carter because of this man. Secondly, let's not forget about John Artis. Gotld bless that man. And lastly, the Hurricane is my favourite movie ever.
I knew about this case while watching Rubin"s movie and listening carefully to Dylan's song. Thank God love still lives in many people's hearts. Long live The Hurricane!!!
Lesra Martin was right to move to Toronto, Canada, with these Canadian folks, whom were willing to take him in and help him get a better education in hopes of fulfilling his dreams. And that happened. In just two years, he learned how to read and write, he had the courage to visit the man whose book inspired him deeply, Rubin Hurricane Carter [in prison], and was able to fulfill his potential by going to university at the University of Toronto and some other good schools across Canada, like Dalhousie University. He worked as a Crown prosecutor and then a lawyer in civil cases.
Had he stayed in Bushwick, in Brooklyn, the worst thing he would have expected was doing time in prison, like the notorious drug kingpin Frank Lucas, though it could've been decades. But thankfully, that did not happen. His trip across the border was what changed everything [and it did!]I hope that many of us could learn from this remarkable experience, whether we live in Canada or the United States.
I have a theory..........when the cops stopped the car with Carter, Artis, and a dude named John "Bucks" Royster the first time, they let them go. When they came around the second time, it was only Carter and Artis. John "Bucks" Royster came out of the car. My theory is that IF Carter did do it, then Carter and JOHN ROYSTER did it, and Carter was like "Why tf do I have to sit in the prison cell, and he is free?!" And "When he testified in 1967, Royster slumped in the witness chair and the judge asked him how many drinks he had downed before coming to court that morning." So he basically dumbed himself down so he doesn't get himself in trouble.
Hurricane is a calm caring intelligence man. I wish more people see that.
He had a family.
its pretty clear...that was a wall to survive behind bigger walls.
Just watched the hurricane film with my mother this afternoon. Truly inspiring
Tandis ChArm TRULY FICTION.... SERIOUSLY...I'AM AFRICAN AMERICAN....THE GUY WAS GUILTY!
It is complete bs. Carter is a scumbag
@@frankesposito2182 how you know that?
Frank Esposito You’re guilty.
I cannot keep a dry eye every time I watch the movie, read the book or see interviews like this.
He is a wonderful man. A wonderful man with a strong and beautiful soul. R.I.P Mr Carter.
It’s funny I heard “Hurricane” by Bob dylan for the first time in a long time last week. Then o read the 16th round. So inspiring. Rest in Peace Rubin ‘Hurricane’ Carter 🙏
I’m glad you read that book. I did too.
A bittersweet story, a tragic story, an uplifting story and a story of hope. Beautiful..
Only found out bout this film the other day, -put my problems in perspective! -inspirational AND relevant even 'today'!
Mr. Carter, you are such an inspiration. How did you cope? I cannot even imagine being without my FREEDOM. I LOVE YOU and I hope that you are in a good place right now and still will be, for years to come. NOBODY deserves what you went through when one is innocent.
WOW I love the last line of the movie The Hurricane EVEN MORE now after hearing the last line out of Rubin in the end of this interview, that is AWESOME (even has a Denzel laugh).
Denzel has a Rubin laugh 😉
Rubin Carter life is prove that GOD may not come when you want to, but he will be there RIGHT ON TIME!!
Teach ignorance love
Except he wasn't there on time at all. This innocent man sufferered for nothing. God did nothing. Luck and good people freed him, not a 'god'.
@@smudgy264 You’re right.
Religious people are so wacky.
Exept he doesn’t exist
Just watched The Hurricane What a film what a story Denzel should of got an Oscar for the portrayal of Hurricane Absolutely Brilliant God bless The Canadians and Lesra Martin and Rest In Peace Ruben The Hurricane Carter Legend Forever
James Oliver, Fred Nauyoks and Hazel Tanis the 3 victims seem to have been forgotten in the story of the Hurricane.
I really enjoyed this. Thanks for uploading.
I just read that Hurricane passed away..so sad..I bet he's sitting on a throne that he so much deserves..RIP...and God Bless the Canadian people that believed in him..It takes special people to act and get involved in his case...What a blessing!!
The system is corrupt. People con
No carter was a complete scumbag

He got no compensation??????????????????????
PraetorianGuardsUK he didn’t want it. Because it would mean acknowledging that he was a prisoner and in his mind he never was.
he was a murderer
@@seanhardman1964 what?
@@seanhardman1964 who told u that
@@omodetelevision9685 denzel Washington was an interesting choice a sophisticated well spoken man. He was dishonorably discharged ftom tge army they made him out to look like up right citizen. He had strong armed robbery of an african American elderly woman and was in and out the system his whole life. This is honestly comparable to the oj simpson case because there actually was sufficient evidence but tampering with evidence simultaneously. Do your research the conclusion is still very questionable and leans towards guilt. They found a bullet in his car and the tail lights of his car were custom and identified by a witness. There are much better influences then him choose someone less questionable for inspiration.
I think this is one of the most amazing stories of compassion and love Expressed through a kid. Many celebrities and famous people came and left Ruben side. But this boy never gave up on him. And the family that loved the little boy so much never gave up on him either
"The Hurricane Is Beautiful" Glad That They Put that In At The end Of The Film. Probbably The Best "based on a true story" Movie I Have even seen
And "The Hurricane" is beautiful!
wow. just wow. "anything in this world can be done, if you got commitment and you got the people to do it and are able to focus upon it." that's just an amazing take away, from a man speaking from such a terrible experience.
What a wise brave man he was! My God give him the well deserved rest and my his soul be in peace now.
We all need someone to believe in us enough. Then anything is possible. A sad and inspiring story.
I just saw that movie again yesterday. It made a big impression on me. It tells us over and over again how America treated blacks and still do.
Its all bs. Carter is a scumbag
mark miller ya mama
@@melmiller9507 why??
@@perun4649 Because he didn’t let Ron Lipton his former sparring partner be the fight choreographer for the movie. And Rube used to run people out of bars and scare them. lol
Amazing story
Hes a scumbag
NO TO CORRUPTION...like RACISM
TRUE TO THAT.
THE INJUSTICE SYSTEM.
This man is my inspiration for whole of my life 💎❤
I'm proud to be Canadian
what a great personality, loved it....12:40 to 13:05, this is not a laugh and this is cry...amazing movie recommend my client Joseph "The Hurricane"
Rubin and John and the Canadians are heroes of love and stamina. I am a Dylan fan but Rubin Carter makes the song seem inadequate to the victorious life he lived , as powerful as the song is .
I can't believe this report is from before the movie.
Beautiful inspiring story.
Rubin Carter you are an inspiration too millions .
Righteous and humble a true child of God .
💫✝️✨
always an amazing story we should all... be aware happened in our world. Don't let it happen again. Thanks Rubin... you will always be loved.
I met a white man, I won't say his name. He has passed away also. He was in New Jersey prison with the Hurricane. He was also a boxer. Ruben Carter actually covered his back from other inmates because of respect. I never knew Ruben but I knew Mr.Hill and the respect they had for each other will always impress me. I know cause I have been to prison also.
I’m going to have to watch the movie now. What a story
Now thats a man of integrity and courage
Amazing story, I knew the story of Hurricane from Bob Dylan and the news but didn't know this particular story with Lezra. Circumstances mean everything.
Thank God for those Canadians..
This is so great! Makes me aspire to make change.
Wow! I'm at a loss of words
All the best Rubin, give my mum a hug in heaven, God bless 🙏 everyone.
I firstly heart Bob Dylan's song "Hurricane" not realising it was based on a true event. Year's laters I found and brought this DVD from a 2nd hand shop called "Hurricane". Bob Dylan's song was the theme song, the story shown in this movie was unbelievable. Great out come to a real life story.
I read his book when I was locked up
Great follow up to Bobby’s Song!!!!❤❤❤❤
What a Fantastic Love Story : Rubin «Hurricane» Carter RIP Care Share Love & Respect❤
Thank you Rubin, John and the Canadian Angels, thank you Bob Dylan😎
Wow. We should all be aware of this amazing story
50 Cent's "The 50's Law" brought me here.
Very inspiring story!
He is a beautiful human being. This story breaks my heart

Awesome boxer!! No one could ague that. For years I was all about Carter's criminal innocence. Then I wised up. Dug deep... real, real deep.. for a long, long time. Gobbled up every piece of information from both sides of the issue. In the end the evidence against Carter is SO INCREDIBLY strong and SO VERY obvious. If all anyone cares to dig out of this story is the cultural politics and fluff of Hollywood, and come away with an opinion of innocence, that's entirely up to them. For those of us who have taken the time and diligence to seek and piece the elements, Carter was not only a murderer, but CLEARLY a murderer, and by virtue of that is was he alone who destroyed his own boxing career. No judge, and no jury, ever found him innocent. He was released after serving 20 years of his sentence only on the chance basis of one judge's opinion, and that opinion was not formed because of innocence, but of mere trial technicality. Fact.
Explain?
You're 100% correct and one of the few who have figured it out. Read more here: www.graphicwitness.com/carter/
I'm so proud of of the Hurricane. Wish I could meet Him one day.
damn that movie is for real! I thought that canadians were invented!

HALLELUYAH
It’s crazy how Denzel sounds just like this guy
Love that movie
Its funny how there's too little comments relating this to Bob Dylan
Dylan had done a great work with his song, and lesra and canadians had done theirs, but god was the one who was leading them,and god is great
Lazarus and the Hurricane is a great book. I read it a couple of times 20 years ago.
“In Paterson that's just the way things go.
If you're black you might as well not show up on the street
'Less you wanna draw the heat.”
Are things any different in 2022’s USA? 🙁
There are good people, and there are people who are glad to step back into the people their ancestors were. They don't see their ugliness and don't care about their own Souls. These good hearted People. ..May The Lord bless their Souls.
Incredible.
God bless this beautiful man Rubin Carter.

Ruben Carter such a wonderful person. Thank you to all of the Canadians who got and help Ruben Carter. This case tougt me about rasim and when people hate this is what got.
i must say the actors were spot on ..!!
How is it that Canadians are always the good guys in these tales? :p
It’s not a tale. It’s real life. I am sorry that you’re not Canadian.
These are gullible Marxists who were duped by a killer. No one in the United States was imbecilic enough to just take Hurricane's word for it. Most of the folks these innocence projects help are actually guilty, that's according to their own statistics. Hurricane did it.
@@CoolhandLukeSkywalkr where are your proof ? Did you dig out the evidence of his guilt?
Mr Rubin Carter has become an inspiration to me, I cannot express how much. God bless him and his example to us all.
Paul Manning if beating.up women and bragging about stabbing and shooting people for fun is your source for inspiration then get help. Do some research this thug is an evil lying murderer. He has appeared to have rewritten his own history.
will walker Johnny Carson beat his wife a lot. It was well known in Hollywood. Does that make him a murderer too?
How has this man not been compensated for the horrendous injustice and crime perpetrated against him ... and what compensation would be adequate? The worst of it is knowing he is not alone.
Most Honorable Rubin Hurricane Carter, you have no idea how much God love's you! Get ready, here comes you're miracle!
Ruben hurricane Carter what a man he was the greatest man to ever walk this earth rest in peace x
That woman, is THE nice, respectful, amiable yet great version of Barbara Walters. Love her!
Here is the take away; in these days; this can literally happen to anyone regardless of color.
Thanks mate you introduced me to HURRICANE
There was no compensation??? This is crazy. But thank God he had loyal friends
Those were the days! When you could still call a spade a spade! So sad those days are gone.
and the movie make true, that’s a blessing
That looks exactly like where rocky was filmed
That’s Brooklyn for you
Its actually Kensington Philadelphia and areas around it. Not Brooklyn but they look kind of similar.
