I live in Germany and I had never heard of this movie until a colleague recommended it to me today. After watching it, I got up and went for a walk. This walk was incredibly enjoyable in part because I felt so free. It is unfortunate that many humans can incarcerate innocent people and this is absolutely okay to them. The strength required to endure imprisonment while innocent is otherworldly. Wherever you are in this vast world of ours, it is my hope that you and yours are well.
Wow. I can't believe a movie about this subject is finally being made. For anyone who would like to learn more about the impact of incarceration, I encourage you to read The New Jim Crow. Will open your eyes. So ready to see this!
This is really a breath taking film. Everything in it is real. I just can't imagine how wise this man is, i wish i had a little bit of his patience and faith. Injustice is cruel and people should never give up. Big empathy 🥺
I listened to this on the National Public Radio podcast called "This American Life". The episode #282 called D.I.Y. The story stayed with me when I heard it years ago and now to see this true story made into a film....amazing!
For those of you who may not know, this movie is a very true story. It's not a fictional piece of work. The guys the film is bad on literally worked with the actors themselves to make sure the story was told right.
I met the guy who this movie is based off of today. Told me to check out his movie. I thought it was going to be some low budget “Shottas” style film. Pleasantly surprised from the trailer.
😀 that "eh" at the end of your sentence suggests you're Jamaican or at the very least West Indian. I see you my bredrin/sistrin ......And yeah that shit shit gave me goosebumps.
I watched Crown Heights the day after watching Serpico. What a crazy double feature. They both show you how far we still need to grow as a country. The system rewards poor police work. Thank God for the few brave souls that have brought about change.
I cried when I watched this movie. I cried because I felt so touched that half of this man life was taken from him by Cops who merely wanted to put one black man in prison to make an precedent. They get no punishment at all even though its evident that they are to blame for the years of this man taken. It felt paroxysm of dismay that the are selfish people that will never want to hear the truth doesn't matter what you say. Everyone should see this movie. It shows you how the system has been set up.
I was mad talking to the tv like 6month years 12yrs like wtf im just glad he had people supporting him from the outside cause he was definitely giving up im just glad he didnt do what most would've did that dont have support kill themselves smh
All these people disrepecting Nnamdi Asomugha commenting "is that Kerry Washingtons husband." That dude is one of the best defensive backs of the 2000s and his generation. He's not just some actresses' husband smh
Omg I saw this movie two days ago. I’ve never cried in a movie before but this one really touched me 😭 I cried so much during it. Especially the part where the police beat him. Luckily he’s out now.
Thank you to NPR and "This American Life" for the podcast episode of this event. Please do yourself a favor and listen to the podcast or wait for the film if you don't want to hear any spoilers.
I'm definitely going to see this film! This guy is so talented! Good for him he's on his way to stardom I can tell! I'm a new fan indeed. Check him out in Netflix original movie Deathnote, a good thriller for those thrill seekers!
Thus was a great movie its so sad that its people in prison That is innocent serving all these yrs for something they didnt commit And those lawyers were even sadder taking that man money everytime I feel like they didnt even try and that man should get all his money back period
Its pretty amazing that this movie and MANY other amazon originals on amazon prime are rated 4.8 / 5 stars.. Yet Good Will Hunting, and a couple other ultrasuper mega classic movies, often considered some of the greatest movies ever made, aren’t even 4.8... Thats not just a little fishy, thats a straight up scam. Theres no where for me to post this otherwise so i came here..
IM HERE BECAUSE @BIGJAH SAID SUMTHIN ABOUT IT IN HIS NEW VIDEO AS A SETUP TO A JOKE OR STORYLINE IN HIS SKIT AND I WAS SAYIN TO MYSELF LETS LOOK IT UP. AND IM NOW A FAN OF THIS MOVIE WITHOUT WATCHING IT IN FULL.
All people who say all lives matter are ussually ignorant white right wing trump supporters, don't try to explain why you say black lives matter to them since they see everything in black/white
It's a G0D D@MN3D shame how people in this day and age continue to get abused by the 'authorities' and those who are 'to serve and protect' get away with it. It's totally frikkin' scary!!!
Ok. You have a VERY good point, Sir. And 1 that within the context of the movie being presented holds up well. However, regarding how easy it is for someone to be accused and convicted of something they didn't do, or simply shot dead on site, it seems far to easy. It's scary. But again, I can't doubt the validity of what you said. (Please keep in mind though: In 1999, Carl King brought the case to the attention of attorney William Robedee, who was struck by Thomas Charlemagne’s change in his account and the lack of physical evidence tying Warner to the murder. King had located witnesses never called by the defense who said Colin Warner was not at the scene of the crime. Mario Hamilton’s brother provided an affidavit saying that he only identified Warner because he was pressured by police.)
This was one of the few movies that I could not predict - and I’m good at it too .. lol. One of the only things I figured out was that the girlfriend would be in on it. Good movie
Logan: This man would find it much more comfortable if he wasn't wrongfully accused of murder, I think the African american experience for him for the most part doesn't look very good.
The friend of the guy in jail is played by nnamdi asomugha. All pro cornerback in the NFL now acting, hope his acting is like his Oakland years and not Philadelphia
That dude is such a good actor. I see many awards for him in the future.
My worst nightmare, getting locked up for some shit I ain't do!
For real.
That and being buried alive.
Happened to me.
didn't not aint
J p Nope, I'm pretty sure I wrote "ain't".

Yo, if this guy from Get Out, Lakeith Stanfield, keeps this up, he's going to be up there one day!!
Wow. I can't believe a movie about this subject is finally being made. For anyone who would like to learn more about the impact of incarceration, I encourage you to read The New Jim Crow. Will open your eyes. So ready to see this!

This is really a breath taking film. Everything in it is real. I just can't imagine how wise this man is, i wish i had a little bit of his patience and faith. Injustice is cruel and people should never give up. Big empathy 🥺
Just saw this on Amazon prime. I felt this movie, I shed a tear at the end. 👍

It's hard to tell imo.
I met the guy who this movie is based off of today. Told me to check out his movie. I thought it was going to be some low budget “Shottas” style film. Pleasantly surprised from the trailer.
goosebumps... dam looks so deep and well made... I know I ain't the only one eh
😀 that "eh" at the end of your sentence suggests you're Jamaican or at the very least West Indian. I see you my bredrin/sistrin ......And yeah that shit shit gave me goosebumps.
MRLONG758 racist much?
Mexicans say eh too
Ehh
So many still today locked up just for being different and poor in the land of the free and the brave....
Looks good. Interested in seeing Kerry Washington's husband act.
this actually looks really good
Lakeith is so underrated
Just Listened to the NPR 1 hour podcast of the real story - Amazing reporting of a system not working .
This is about reality! This is what we need in movies! Not some movies about single moms (comedy) or teenage parties...
Who's here because of the story on This American Life??!!
I watched Crown Heights the day after watching Serpico. What a crazy double feature. They both show you how far we still need to grow as a country. The system rewards poor police work. Thank God for the few brave souls that have brought about change.
I literally just met the man who this movie is based off of🤯. Strong brother💪🏾
I cried when I watched this movie. I cried because I felt so touched that half of this man life was taken from him by Cops who merely wanted to put one black man in prison to make an precedent. They get no punishment at all even though its evident that they are to blame for the years of this man taken.

Imagine getting sent to prison at 18 and spending 21 years there missing out the best years of your life for a crime you didn't commit
All these people disrepecting Nnamdi Asomugha commenting "is that Kerry Washingtons husband." That dude is one of the best defensive backs of the 2000s and his generation. He's not just some actresses' husband smh
Omg I saw this movie two days ago. I’ve never cried in a movie before but this one really touched me 😭 I cried so much during it. Especially the part where the police beat him. Luckily he’s out now.
Just watched it and teared up at the end
An amazing, but heartbreaking movie.

Freebase Tha God “all people are usually” are you an idiot?

Don't act like all cops are good though not all are bad but don't excuse the bad ones
Nnamdi Asomugha (who is Kerry Washington's husband, BTW) was phenomenal in this movie!
This was one of the few movies that I could not predict - and I’m good at it too .. lol. One of the only things I figured out was that the girlfriend would be in on it. Good movie
When is this released and where do I watching

This looks very good.
NPR just did a great podcast about this case....titled D.Y.I
