“it’s like calling a 29 year old olympian a boy while Trayvon was a man at 16” THE PERFECT ANALOGY
Ayo 1.6 but no comments?
@@ark4am7night91 lon
The fact that they were kids KIDS when it happened and that to this day those cops haven't apologized for the trauma they inflicted on them, and that they even still believe they're guilty is sickening
Twitter needs to dox , find ,and traumatize them they're disgusting makes me gag🤮🤮🤢
@@galaxy_minds1290 ikr?? They didn't even lose their careers or have faced any repercussions
@@literaIIyshy more than dox, treat them like social parasites, treat them like they were treated, strip their jobs away, treat them like the scum they are
I’ve heard this story a few times when I was younger and thought it was horrible, but it wasn’t till I was older I realized these were literally children! It just makes this story even more disturbing.
@carlos Rivas it's funny because you think this is a movie. Idiot.
Even though When They See Us is undeniably a Masterpiece, I honestly can’t rewatch this show. It made me sad and angry, I was even terrified to leave my apartment for a couple of weeks.
Yeah it's for sure one of the only things on Netflix that made me immediately tear up upon finishing it. They practically lost their lives!
Just like "Schindler's List" that line: "I could've saved more" still haunts me. (Even if it may not have happened, the emotion binds me.) For this show, it was Korey Wise his story...
Me too. I was so anxious, sad and angry.
I still haven't seen it. I could bring myself to hit play because of how much pain I was awaiting me. I thought I knew how much from knowing a lot of the case but this video alone showed me I'm still not ready for it. One of these days I will be but right now it hurts to much.
@@nicholasmassengale8649 me either my sister had so my anxiety after she watched it that she had to leave and come home from doing her ministry outreach.
This is one series I will never be able to rewatch because Ava, the cast, and crew did their jobs so well. Hurt my soul to watch it the once.
I know this is super chicken of me but I made it about 20min into the first episode before I had to switch it off. I couldn't take it. Even seeing clips here is making me cry
Ose Etomi Same I got to only the second episode.
@@osehietomi123 I've been wanting to watch this show for the longest time but i can't muster up the courage to do it.
@@MariaSantana-jv6tw thats exactly how I feel. I really want to watch it again but I had bloodshot eyes from crying so much the first time.
Same here, it's so heartbreaking. 😭
This series had me on a roller coaster of emotions. This truly shows how manipulative the system can be to minorities.
Not just minorities everyone
@@jonme225 this comment shows clearly you did not watch the whole video
@@jonme225 found the alllivesmatter idiot 🤢
@@SimoneUmba yeah i plan to watch it later
@@jonme225 Dont address something you know nothing about please. Its insensitive...
everytime ur having a bad day, if u listen close enough, u can hear a "listennnnn" in the distance to make u feel better about ur sad life
except not this time. not this time. this show broke me
Can't tell if your roastin us or bringing up let me explain
😂 no lie
When you can’t think of an excuse for not doing your homework
Listennnnnn
I thought that I was the only that that happened to
@@rotanebannaw1701 have u?
The first episode is the hardest to go through 😞
I agree it was hard to watch
The first episode had me emotional and angry
No Cap , I cried so hard
nope the korey wise is the hardest episode
Ali Gmal It took me days to watch the fourth one because I couldn’t stop crying
Someone give Ava all of the awards. I don’t care if she’s never written a song or a book m. Give her a Grammy and a Pulitzer too.
I absolutely agree
EGOT THAT QUEEN
Nobel Peace Prize and an Oscar!!! ❤
Why is this my energy when I love someone 😂😂😂
Lmao a Grammy. Just create an Ava award and carve some time, sis! She deserves
I wasn’t ready for these feels at 8am.
Yeah same...
Had a good day today, now a headache from crying
Man I got to work this morning. Had a couple minutes free now I'm crying at my desk.
Just straight up crying
Nor was I, but tear have the tears came all the same
Saaame
What most people don't realise is that, watching this as a black person, is like watching yourself as a main character in a horror movie. I can't bring myself to see it...
@SsSs RoBbSs So you're admitting you dont get it AND lack empathy to even try. Brilliant
@SsSs RoBbSs Chile it's pointless arguing with you.That's just a lost cause and wasted energy...continue in your ignorance in peace...God bless!
SsSs RoBbSs there was actually no evidence lol and no DNA matches either. The time and place didn’t add up either. There were loads of teenagers in the park that night but Korey yousef Kevin Raymond and Antron didn’t attack or commit any crimes. They did not rape anyone.. someone else has already confessed to the crime and said he did it SOLO. These innocent boys were wrongfully convicted.
SsSs RoBbSs so are you tryna tell me even though someone else confessed to the crime and there was no evidence.. dna did not match any of the 5 boys but it matched matia Reyes (the guy who actually did the crime) but all 5 are still rapists? Lol how does that make any sense...
SsSs RoBbSs I bet if these men were white you wouldn’t be screaming rapists. You’re delusional and clearly very racist. No point continuing this conversation when you’re racist. Goodbye.
"What I've learned about the Justice System that it's the wrong name for it." ...
as someone who studies false confessions and judicial wrongdoings, this was honestly textbook. the extent to which those detectives were stuck in their own tunnel vision and the way in which these false confessions were so clearly fabricated, there were so many signs of misconduct it is sickening
What’s your major? I graduated w a degree in forensic psychology and we covered those topics at length. Very enlightening when paired with studies in juvenile delinquency in particular. Good luck in your studies!
@@LaFlor718 Having looked a little bit into psychology myself and watched a really cool doco series created here in NZ called 'why am I' the saddest thing for me is how early experiences effect future behaviour. For instance the effect of poverty on learning delays which effect school entrants ability to learn at the level they are expected to (and often parental and educational expectations are kinda dumb anyway) which leads to them giving up and learning bad behaviours due to not learning much more important social and emotional skills. Honestly they said you can look at 4 year old and be able to tell without interference roughly how someone is gonna turn out. Sadly its stuck behind a geoblock as its on the tv channels streaming site, although if you have a VPN you may be able to get past it perhaps. It covers something called the Dunedin Lognitidual Study which follows (since its still ongoing) all children born in a set year. Its auctually really fascinating, espically if you like psychology.

Remember when people were told, that the Riverdale teens need to be adults because kids can't act? *Look at those! These kids in the mini series were amazing. Real talents, I'm so impressed* also... Stranger things? And let's be real Riverdale acting is questionable af.
Would they not have taken adults cause everybody always naked and fucking and thus it would be weird if all the actors were under 18. I definetly wouldn't feel comfortable if they were.
@@Joshua-ob6bk what??!! 😂😂 This comment gave me whiplash.
@@Joshua-ob6bk "skins" and "euphoria" did all that too.
The kids from little fires everywhere!!! They were so Good!!!
Most people acting on riverdale are over the age of 20 😭
I don't remember crying so much in anything - movie, series, etc .
It's just insane. it's heartbreaking.
I started watching this the Friday it came out at work...bad idea! Horrified!
Korey wise part
Had me almost crying in the shower
I had to wait until my off day to finish his part cause I just kept crying over and over again. Kid wanted to be there for his friend and ended up being brought into this mess
@@itachisasukelover90 and he had the worst of it! It makes me so mad!
His story was definitely the most heartbreaking.
The fact that what they showed on netflix is nothing compared to the torture he indured makes me cry as i write.
yeah.. i cried my eyes out during that episode. its horrible
The fact that people here are saying this propaganda and they were guilty. THE GUILTY GUY WAS ALREADY CAUGHT. Why do you want these kids to be guilty so much? Watch the whole video before you comment.
@SsSs RoBbSs Oh do I want fully grown rapists to do free? I AM A RAPE VICTIM. so cut the crap with me. Prosecutors had no DNA and little evidence that matched the teenagers to the crime, the attack, or the scene.
Reyes, who was doing 33 years to life for a murder-rape conviction, reached out to police, who were able to MATCH HIS DNA to the DNA at the Central Park crime scene.
Reyes also knew some details about Meili and the crime that had never been released and that only the person who had been there could know. Reyes, who had been given the nickname "East Side Rapist" for a series of violent rapes along Madison Avenue in the spring and summer of 1989, had also attacked a woman in the park a few days prior to -- and not far from -- the April 19 attack.
Do with that what you want I won't be answering anymore.
@@isaa.5187 hello hi. I have nothing say..I just wanted to thank you for speaking and thank you for being here.
Isa A. so many revolting people in this world its insane im sorry that this person thought they had the audacity to gaslight you and squander the name of these INNOCENT men who were convicted while CHILDREN as FULL GROWN ADULTS and then to turn around and ask you, a rape victim whom they know NOTHING ABOUT, why you want rapists to go free??? they totally missed the point and will continue to miss the point because of their bigoted way of thinking and complete lack of empathy again im sorry on behalf of them hopin you have a great day
My heart broke for all of them but especially for korey. In the reunion show, he still seemed like he couldn’t talk about it. I requested this video when it came out. Im glad you did it.
Yeah Korey went threw some things that is unimaginable for the average human being. May God be with him always.
Everything Korey went through made my heart ache! The fact that it wasn't fiction! The fact that this little boy went through this!!!
I want those people involved in incarcerating these innocent kids be punished, especially that Karen legally named Linda.
@carlos Rivas lol what? Did you miss the part that is a TRUE STORY
Covid ain't killing enough of yall fuckerz
@@niffellbique3744 okay the last part was too much.
@carlos Rivas you are not a free thinker, actually you are a sheep all the way at the back. You couldn't even escape if you wanted to, the other sheep keep bullying you. I feel bad for you.
carlos Rivas i expect better from you, this isnt propaganda its what happened
moe edward and that’s on poetry
I don't have the emotional strength to watch this as my mother and brother grew up telling me about it. What happened to them was so haunting and it terrified me. I'm happy your are doing a LME on it.
I couldn’t watch it for months, even though I wanted to. I had to mentally prepared myself and I still cried so hard I couldn’t breathe sometimes. I don’t blame you for not watching. You know the story. You know the power in letting the truth be set free. Stay strong.
Same. I STILL cannot watch it
Just the thought of watching the docuseries makes me want to cry.
'I sent him to the park, I feel guilty'
I want to cry, it wasn't his fault. That's the face of a father who's family was destroyed. The central park five deserved better..
Same. Its really sad he tried to make a good parenting decision it just didnt work out.
Yeah, same here. Broke me down.😰😓
That dude who played korey was also in moonlight, apparently he’s always in masterpieces
I know this is completely not related to this situation but...Martin got them waves tho
They did my man Korey, DIRTYYYY his episode DESTROYED ME
I cried. He didnt even get a chance
I was watching it with my mom when she let me stay from school and she cried so much I did too korey never got a chance
My sociology teacher was on to something because before all of this happened she made us watch "13th" and "When they see us" and write a paper on it and this was hard to watch.
Same, but my homeroom teacher made us watch it and lets just say everyone had at least shed a tear or two, that is if they hadn't started full blown crying.
I watched When They See Us when it came out, then watched the 13th, then the Kalief Browder story before any of this started; and I just wish I was in the US to go to the protests, it's even worse hearing what people around me are saying about them.
Before all what?
Daneika Berry right.
naal the protests that are harming other innocent people? That makes no sense. You shouldn't be watching movies and documentaries that are bias.. if you are really interested in searching for the truth.. you need to find the raw footage and come to your own conclusions.. i was like that too.. plenty of documentaries and movies made me emotional, until i did more research to see its not black and white.. its really grey.. there is more to it.. and never to trust hollywood.
When They See Us was so hard to watch but so necessary to see. I wasn't familiar with the exonerated 5 story before this was announced. Truly an important series to watch.
@carlos Rivas the actual exonerated 5 told their story??? And you call it propaganda when it still happens today?
@Why 40 years ago?? This still happens today and yes logic is not comprehensible for racists and people like you. 13th is a documentary that talks about false incarceration that you should watch before you can say this is irrelevant to the situation today.
@Why Also, this only happened back in 1989, 31 years ago; not 40. Plus this series is still very relevant because it breaks down the American justice system and systematic racism. You are also dumb as fuck if you think wrongful convictions still don't happen today.
@Why go back to reddit
I watched it when it first came out, it pulls on the heart strings & episode 4 was very hard for me to finish. It’s a beautiful take on what happened once you get past the awful stuff first. I recommend everyone to watch it if you haven’t
It pulls on the heartstrings I'm sure, but is it true?
@@iamthewizardwhoknocks2845 Yes, it's based off of a true story as he says at the end. And as the show has at the end. And if you just Google the case you'll see it so pretty much
@@iamthewizardwhoknocks2845 i think parts of it were exaggerated because it's on screen, but the story is pretty much the same - you can google it and read news articles to compare
@MoIsNotAmerican Why are you attacking them they asked if it was true?
Jane Sun it can’t be exaggerated if it’s the real life people telling the story-
The music choices as well were on point, ending with Frank Ocean’s rendition of Moon river and Nipsey’s Picture me Rolling made me cry for real 😢
that made me full on SOB bro, frank’s lyrics really related to the story
ava duvernay is truly one of the great filmmakers of our generation.
And yet a wrinkle in time was garbage. She excels with the material she's most familiar with. Then when she's not nominated in every single category at the Oscars ( but still nominated in some like "best picture") she and her cast will say "I can't breathe"
@@Ronkyort0dox it costs $0 not to be a dick and post this
@@Ronkyort0dox A wrinkle in time is really hard to adapt. Such a fantastic book.
@@Ronkyort0dox wrinkle was not that bad!
The episode with korey imagining what could have been broke my heart and had me crying
Jharrel Jerome is such a great actor!!
THIS SERIES BROKE MY HEART! I WAS SOOO FRUSTRATED AGHHH 😭
Welcome to being a innocent black man in America. Nothing against you but it’s crazy to see how people really aren’t aware of our situation. One interaction with the wrong person and we could end up dead or enslaved.....millions of black men locked up for marijuana yet there’s an entire weed cooking show on Netflix. Seemingly we are always the ones to suffer the consequences of others ignorance
Seconded, even worse, it's based on true events, which actually occurred! 😢💔
Truly a perfect 4-part miniseries about things that are still happening today.
Kory’s episode was a tragic masterpiece. It was shot and directed so well and just when you thought you had all the feels in this mini series, BAM, you get hit with more. Bless all of them
Hands down one the BEST LME video’s of all time!
From the importance of the title and the careful detail of language - Ava DuVernay needed to tell this story with the humanity that was stripped from them.
I never wanted to cry so badly as I did in the last episode.💔
If you don’t understand they concept of when they see us you’re just an empty shallow person. But as far as you I appreciate you for explain on this to those who somehow do not understand.
King Korey. 🙌🏾. I see him so often here in Harlem. He is so generous and donates so much of his money and time to wrongfully accused young men and women. God bless all these men🙏🏾
I never cried so much when watching Korey’s episode. He just wanted to be there for a friend.
“Is my mom here.”That hit me hard.
I remember when I watched this the second it came out and honestly, within only the first episode it had my heart and tears and carried it throughout the other three episodes. This story crushed me especially since this actually happened. Those 5 men will always have to carry this tragedy in their lives and the years these people took from them will never been given back. No amount of money can bring that back. It’s so cruel how little the justice system has changed. We all need to do better for them. Because black lives do matter. They are precious.
Korey's hallucination scene in his cell was the greatest scene I've ever seen in my life. One of the greatest Netflix series I've watched.
Even though this case happened in the late 1980's, it's eerily similar to the current Black Lives Matter Movement. I'd recommend that everyone watch this miniseries, it's so poignant and powerful! 🖤😭
Just shows us that we aren’t progressing but regressing back to our mistakes😔
Sydney Murphy not regressing, just exposing. Nothing was new, and nothing ever stopped. Like the video said, social media just forced the conversation into the world.
Its still happening till this day and it breaks my fucking heart. We see it now bc of SM. This shit is not going anywhere bc there are always gonna be racists.
But we can make this happening in the world less
It’s eerily similar because this stuff has been going on forever. It’s not like the exonerated 5 case was a one time event that was a rarity when it happened, it just was really brought to the public eye. Like I said this has been going on for a long, long time. We see it more now today because people can’t hide it as well due to technological developments.
i remember not being able to sleep after watching this because i couldn't stop crying. i felt so bad that they have to go through that like holy shit my heart still hurts when I hear about it. so seeing this video, i clicked SO fast
Watched it with my cousin and we stood up all night watching it and didnt sleep till like 2-3 hours after at like 5:30ish am. We were too sad and angry.
Some people are so quick to devote their entire lives to deities that they’re never seen or met and yet don’t believe racism is a thing because they’ve never experience it.
THIS.
That is such a non-sequitur statement I can't even find the energy to rebut it.
Apples and oranges
Video is unlisted. What happened? Almost would have missed this video ;~~;
Early Patreon Content
And Then The Lady Who Put Those Poor Kids Away Had The Nerve To Sue Ava For Defamation 😑 Like Ma’am Ava Was Writing Based Off Of YOUR Actions!!! You Made Yourself Look Bad 😪 Smh 🤦🏾♀️
The only tv show I’ve watched that genuinely almost made me cry
Can we cancel Linda furthermore? I mean this lady should feel what she did to those kids.
Do we know where she is? I want someone to release her address and current job
@@suraiyas2035 she's trying to sue Ava because she was misrepresented in the movie.
@@suraiyas2035 Don't stoop to her level. If you want to help hurt her, the best you can do it make sure to spread the 'good word' of what she did. Best of all, do it with her own words in comparison to legally recognised facts, that way she can't hit back for 'slander'.
She won’t she is white
she never will unfortunately
Brooo imagine if Korey n matias never met korey would of still been in prison, he said in a interview if it wasn’t for Reyes to tell the truth he would of done 50 to life , Reyes saved Korey and the 4 men life, even though what reyes did was very wrong he had a heart and felt guilty as he should.
Reyes had more heart than the cops 😞
I was crying throughout the entireeeee series... I can't recall one episode where I didn't... our justice system did these kids so wrong back then and I'm glad that now they've all become adults where they can help others in the same situation. Science doesn't lie, people do. Especially people with unreasonable prejudices.
Imagine thinking your history is a horror film. Then people defending something that was proved wrong.
This show made me so incredibly emotional. It was the most I have ever cried in my life, and I cried for hours on end while I watched it and afterwards. I just couldn't imagine in the US being a black or brown minority and this being any bit more probable than for white counterparts. It's disgusting because these normal people have an affinity for life, their family and friends, and then this happens---something that both in the moment and after incarceration, completely ruins their life---because of something as uncontrollable as skin color or cultural difference. Just disheartening. And yet it is only a nuance for systemic racism and inequity. I just wish the people involved for getting them wrongly charged would have gotten the proper repercussions
The range of emotions this series evokes is astonishing. Fear, anger, sympathy, anguish, turmoil the list is honestly endless. This was so artful executed that anyone open to the TRUTH would be blown away by the injustice these young men suffered. Thank you for the review!
I’m black and I could not finish the first episode. I was so angry and upset and scared I couldn’t do it. I will never understand what the 5 felt
Same. It took me 3 tries to finish it. And after watched it, I couldn't watch the rest of the series. That episode was scary and it hurt!
Wait,this is a sign that I should finally finish the series then I’d watch this
Shows/movies like this just make me think of all those who went down like this and never got justice. Entered the system and became hardened, lost who they were, or possibly worse. We might not all be of the same race or ethnicity, but ignorance is colorblind y’all.
Even though I know this story from beginning to end. I still shed a few tears when I realize how privileged I was to have a childhood. It’s so wrong how people can ruin others life just to suite some hatred they have of them. Because it was that, hate, that made them hurt and defile the lives of those young men. The trauma they went through will never be righted and I cannot count how much times I pray to God that they are covered in all way possible; that every innocent soul on this Earth is covered from the rath they might experience from the hands of evil. I really appreciate how you covered the fact that they were but in a box, a sick cycle of ‘justice’ they really placed a stigma over them til this day!!! When will the world hold these evil people that purposely ruin another’s life accountable? And not just for clout, give them a good sentencing for the crimes they commit on the body and mind of their victims. My heart goes out to all the innocent beings that are still in that retched system and I pray for the ones we lost.And the troubling part about all of this is that they made that Monster president, the same one that called for the death penalty, the same one that had a rape case going for him in that same time. This is fucked up
It sickens me to my core that all of this actually happened
I remember waiting for every review channel I watched to do this series when it first came out and no one wanted to touch it with a 10 foot pole but now that we’re at the boiling point in America I see a lot of reviewers wanna talk about it now . 🤔
I can say that he has always said he was going to do this video. It may have taken some time but I think the finished product was well worth the wait.
I'm from and living in Africa and usually I avoid the sad Africam movies, like Hotel Rwanda. This series does the same thing. #sosad #sopowerful.
Dont even get me started on hotel Rwanda. Traumatized me as a child
The way he put the story of these people even doing research to summarize the story is amazing and shows he wants to have people be conscious about this so it doesn’t happen again (this is one of the reason I subscribe because he doesn’t sugarcoat the meaningful message)
This legit made me cry and filled me with anger, an important show that needed to be made
Thank you for doing this series at a time like this ! 🖤
This has got to be one of your best videos. It was a long time coming but I'm glad that it was made.
Everything about this mini series was difficult to watch especially if you are a person of color. You did a great job of summarizing and explaining why watching this is so important, especially now. Great video guys!
Honestly even watching this summary brings back so many emotions I felt while watching the mini series, I have both cried and have been frustrated countless times which only proves how much of an impactful thing it is, especially counting is relevance in the events happening today
Frank's cover of Moon River at the end of the final episode was just perfect. Just the light instrumental you used brought so many emotions. Amazing series, great video. Thanks.
I love your channel, so much. Your attention to detail, humor and empathy gets me through tough days. Thank you for making this.
I watched when they see us as soon as it came out. And you’re right, everyone needs to see this. No matter how difficult it is to watch. Thanks for doing this one, LME. I appreciate you 👍🏾
I have been putting this series off for so long. It's hard to watch and think about my family being vulnerble to this sort of thing, but knowledge is power. Thank you "explain" for giving me that extra push to finally watch it.
I appreciate you summary of this mini series. You nailed it and I’m glad more attention can be brought to it
Brother...Let Me Just Say...You articulated this Let Me Explain soo well. I don't have much to add really...one of thee first reviews to bring a tear to my eye but at the same time explain this work of art so well. While explaining the context of all it means and what we're living through. Thank you my dude and Keep Explaining cause I'm a fan of real TH-cam Reviewers which includes your channel. 🙏
This is easily the best video I've seen on your page. Thank you for doing justice to When They See Us and the legacy of trauma that these young boys experienced for decades.
Thank you for reviewing this show. It’s so important!
What a beautiful review. Thank you for taking such care with it.
Shit man, you made me remember the anger and the helplessness I felt after watching the show.
This was the first time I’ve watched let me explain that had me in tear... thank you for the video this was beautifully done
Thank you for finally doing this.. I saw this with my children a year ago.. Sooo powerful.. Keep up the great work!
This may be your best work yet. Truly a great video.
This series made me check myself as a black teen living in New York. I've experienced discrimination/racism before, but I've never seen what racism could truly do to my life or others lives if not careful. This series taught me that labels and racism can ruin one's life on in a split second based off of opinions. Crucial years taken away from their lives because of a racist detective. This series taught me I need to educate myself as a black teen in America about my rights and freedoms so that I may not end up as another George Floyd or statistic. ✊🏼🙏🏼
Thank you for watching, researching, reviewing and post this. You're art is appreciated. Thank you.
well thanks so much for recommending this amazing series! never cried so much for 4 episodes in a row in my life!
This show truly broke me,I was born in 2001 and didn't know any of these men or the events that happened but after I watched this show i went and did all my research and learned about it
I watched this and it is so moving and powerful, it's amazing
Wow, I really wish I could heart this video over and over because this video truly made me emotional. Watched the series once and can’t watch it again. It really sent me through a lot of emotions, from being upset and yelling at the tv to sad and crying like wow. I really enjoy this video
Watching the last episode made me cry harder than I’ve ever cried before. I was just so saddened by the injustice that korey had to face. Ava did a really good job in this as she usually does.
Even the Let Me Explain of When They See Us made me tear up. I hope nobody is ever in their situation ever again. The one I was most upset with is the prosecutor. Prosecutors have discretion to try cases. They exist to represent the general public. Which is both the initial victim and to call out the police when they violate people's rights. Though the initial arrest and interrogations never should have happened. And the police are 100% culpable for their sloppy and criminal "investigation". It's the Prosecutor who could have prevented the criminal charges and prison sentences.
Damn those last few seconds basically *owned* all of the reactionary gamer TH-camrs
I remember seeing this when it first came out a while ago and let me tell you I never been so moved before and emotionally involved with a show like this , I cried multiple times especially during the korey wise episode, I remember trying to show everyone I knew about the show cause I wanted them to be heard . I’m so glad you did an explanation on it now cause it’s bringing back memories And feelings
not only was this an incredibly done series but this review of it was beautiful and respectful but also truth full. thank you.
Still can’t watch the series but thank you for this. It was still hard to watch. And the ending 😂
True stories are always the most tragic and horrifying.. I wish all of this was fiction and these poor boys never had to go thru this.. it's heartbreaking.. but I'm glad my eyes are open
This show truly was a masterpiece. My brother and I cried multiple times. We had to pause to breathe and vent to each other each episode. It was a tough show to watch that must be watched.
I remember just feeling the biggest ache in my chest that wouldn’t go away, especially episode 4. I love that it shows the real story and I hate that it shows the REAL story. Much needed exposure to highlight the problems with the justice system for these boys and for the victim as well.
This is unbelievable. It makes me sick to my stomach that they got away with this...those poor men were KIDS. It’s shit like this that makes me hate the whole system here
I love the way it says the video came out 40 secs ago but theres comments from 7 hours ago
This was BEAUTIFULLY done!! Thank you for continuing to share these men’s stories
God, I love this channel. Excellent work. This series shattered my heart and took me about a month to finish, minute by minute, but Ava did her job. The criminal injustice system has to be dismantled. We see you, Antron, Kevin, Yusef, Raymond, and Korey. 🖤💚♥️✊🏾
Latin Americans and African Americans really should be sticking together. I appreciate this so much.
I’m honestly AFRAID to watch this, still. This is the worst kind of horror movie for black and Latino people.
agreed :(
This mini series is one thing on Netflix that I can never...ever watch again...once was enough, I sat down, watched episodes 1-4 back to back, I sobbed, I broke down, I was on shock, I screamed, it was one hell of an emotional roller coaster ride, but it was so well done, well told, well acted...stories like this deserve awards, and attention, because it is so sad how even today, this type of injustice continues to happen...🥺😢😭😞
Man literally in tears, really great video thank you so much for this.
