This guy saved countless lives...... this is the definition of a hero.... Bryan Stevenson God bless you my brother
and a glimpse of perfection, the real ultimate pursuit of happiness
AMEN

Amen
Amen 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
The interviewer seems shocked that a man who spent 30 +yrs in prison for crimes he didn’t commit still cries and lives in fear...WTH! Where’s his empathy....SMH!....Thank God for the work of Bryan Stevenson! #justmercy
Dr. Joan Malcolm Please help me expose my case in Alabama! Trial set for 9/2020! They are trying to give me 10 years in prison for missing a family court date in which they themselves never severed me with notice. No due process! My daughters and I have gone through hell! Lookup my case on Facebook !

I think he was being an interviewer. Responding like majority of people may respond. Making it more important. To just gloss over it, would not emphasize the man's feelings.
May God continue to bless him
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Dr. Joan Malcolm I just saw that and I was in disbelief hell we live in fear without the horrors that this man went through
It's so frustrating that after all of this, the D.A. , judge, and police who prosecuted this case have never apologized or took responsibility for destroying this man and his family's lives. They should have been locked up themselves !
of course they not apologizing devils dont have souls
A better me this is America 🤷🏾♂️
Agreed
@Cheryl Glover hey...Alabama whitey. Not all. This movie turned my stomach. Those involved should have been locked up!
How true I don't wish death on anyone but all involved should go through the same experience but twice as worst just to see how it feels to be not believed degrading and no hope insight and put in that animal institution they call prison
When he said that he hadn't felt the rain in 30 yrs and that it felt so good!?! Omg that spoke volumes! The simple things in life that we take for granted everyday. SMH shame on us. #EJI
Real Talk
How does the interviewer not see that he is emotionally scarred for life 30 years is a long time of course he still get emotional about things
I saw an interview with the gentleman on death row for 30yrs and he said the one thing that pretty much destroyed him was his mother dying while incarcerated... that's a hard pill to swallow
The interviewer is beyond hateful.
He will get his black Wake Up call from ABC. Far removed from the reality of being a black person in America 2020 until...
This interviewer is acting like he doesn't get this at all. Anderson Cooper could have been a lot more gracious humble and sensitive...Speaking to a man who has been through hell. .you'd think after asking when did you last cry..He could handle the answer more decently ..How disgraceful..sorry but I'm angry.
@@Memphisgirl-jk5tq The interviewer hates himself. It's a particularly disgusting thing to watch a self hating black person. He is ashamed of his ancestors, feeling he needs to mimic some idea of cross over white identity. His discomfort with himself is very clear to see. Disgraceful.
Did the interviewer actually ask why he still cries? I cry when l get my damn American Express bill! You don't think a man who has been caged like an animal for decades no longer cries?
@Stressed2Capacity I don't think the interviewer didn't understand, he asked those follow up questions to allow the other person to share more of his thoughts & feelings. For the benefit of those who failed to see these black men as human beings.
I didn't care for that part either. I feel the interviewer could have went about the questioning differently or in a different tone. It's called compassion.
Yes stupid questions
@stress2capacity, wham & bam. Well put, not going with them other folx up up there lol
He did the same when Jamie said it’s most his important role 🙄
I am disappointed by this interviewer.He forgot for a moment that he and these men are the same color and this could have easily happened to him.
What does color have to do with it. You sound like one of those racially bias inividuals that want special treatment. You dont have a right to be racisis when you condem others of it. Judge a man on his character no his color.
shut the fuck up she wasn’t being racist you asshole. fuck you, how bout that.🖕🏾 bitch
@@kennethphipps33 I am not being racist.I am simply saying that he seems far removed from the possibilities of these scenarios and the expressions of fear that these black men express.His attitude is off putting.He suposes that he is somehow removed from their circumstances but fails to understand that its not their curcimstances but the fact that like him they are black and the experience could have easily been his.
@@Amvndah fuck you too
@@Amvndah I never called anyone racist asshole
Thank you Bryan Stevenson. I assign your book to my students in criminal law & procedure.
I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Stevenson. Just talking to him and hearing him speak about his work was an amazing experience.
Your students could also visit the Museum.. It's touching..
Our daughter is a Criminology major at Gonzaga University. . . I JUST finished this awesome book by Bryan Stevenson! I wish I could be a student of yours and listen to the important conversations in your classroom! Blessings to your work!
I’ve had the privilege of hearing Mr. Stevenson speak here in Virginia, and he has a humbling spirit. His book is an eye-opener challenging the overall justice system here in America.
Why is the interviewer so shocked about him still crying waking up in the middle of the night . That was a traumatic experience I'm surprised he hasn't been evaluated for PTSD
Exactly!!! I'm sympathetic to his plight. As a black man; I live in fear "daily" of being wrongly accused. This man lived it and endure 30 years of incarceration. He's most definitely dealing with PTSD and undoubtedly many other things. The interviewer seems to be "detached" from or at the least suffers from Cognitive Dissonance; he's a black man who's not yet embraced his "blackness"; that's what I see anyway.
My brother served 2 years and He still suffers PTSD after almost 8 years..THE INTERVIEWER WAS REMOVED FROM ANY KIND OF CONNECTION AND AWARENESS. how sad, he should have been honored to have an opportunity to speak to this great man.
Because we are always told “get over it move on” not thinking we are human and we feel.
How can you ask "Really??!! Still??!!😱" 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ The interviewer irks my damn nerves😠😡🤬
Yes how do you say that? that's that man's life experience. And you just diminished that. With your responsive of unbelief.
Agreed! He was so out of place with his comments.
Really just dumb ASF or far removed from reality until the police jack him up for being black in the wrong neighborhood!!! Fool
Yes, a bit insensitive, and ignorant.
Interviewer is dumb Asf
Why hasn't this man worn a Noble prize?
I was thinking the exact same thing!!!
This man is a freaking hero.
Nobel peace prize is a disaster
Every Black person in Texas should see this Movie. . Facts
We live it every day. I saw it with my Indian buddy who is also a lawyer like myself and it brought us both to tears.
Cynthia Jones ...every person should read his book & see the movie.
Cynthia Jones - Every BLACK MAN in the south should see this movie.
Everybody in America
Every black person in the world should see it.
We need more Bryan Stevensons in the world. That’s a great thing as he is a wonderful human being and a bad thing because of all the injustice in the world.
Yes Bryan Stevenson is an gift and a blessing to people who are in these unjust situation, i wish i had heard more about him before now. but now we know. Micheal B Jordan portrayed him with such grace.. Kudos to the cast.
WenD1908 every time we get one, he/she gets assassinated.
What a hero! This is why I am against the death penalty.
“Would you believe this is the first time I’ve been in rain in 30 years?” 🥺 ... damn bless u bro 🙏🏾
HEAVENLY FATHER Deliver Us from Evil save our world we are people that need to be saved today just give us MERCY and GRACE
Trish Scott Persecution will come to God’s commandment keeping people. We need His Holy Spirit power to overcome the power of the enemy to overcome sin in our own lives.
That power is love. For God for truth for salvation of others. Love for others.
Amen
Amen sister
Not gonna happen until we as a people repent and obey god's commandments
The interviewer seems so insensitive when reacting surprised, “ Really? ..you still cry?” Like wth?! Of course, there’s trauma!!
Wow 30 years on death row! For a crime he didn’t do! All because of the color of he’s skin. He’s still scared! God bless him. I hope he makes millions of he’s book!
He needs $1bn ASAP. Anthony Ray Hinton . This is bull.
They picked him up right off his mother’s front lawn while he was mowing it. Just think about that every time you go out to mow your lawn. Unbelievable!!!😢
If I wasn’t a man of God, I would really tell y’all what I think about this reporter.. Lord help me
ikr...
😂😂😂Right
Worst interviewer really they chose the wrong guy.
Even how he was interacting with Jamie Foxx was off-putting.
T cnBrooklyn that’s what you got out of this? I’ve been following Bryan Stephenson for a couple of years. All I see is his work and dedication
Totally agree. Shitty, confrontive interviewer, for no reason. Who is this schmuck?
This man is an angel and he inspires me💜💜💜
I saw a documentary, this lawyer, is amazing, the movie can't wait to see. Just Mercy, is a most appropriate title.
It’s an excellent, but very sobering movie.
The interviewer is no Ed Bradly he asked no important questions. He just narrated ...
Yes, Ed Bradley was stellar!!! I sure miss watching him.
The interviewer was so out of touch
This is the true definition of a hero. This is the type of person children need to look up to.
Great story but the man who interviewed and did this story was not too good.
He was acting clueless as hell throughout the whole interview
like how do you ask a man how this isnt his most important film. This movie is so much more than a movie.
@@DigigodGamer agree!!!!
he did not pass the vibe check! his facial expressions throughout the interviews were not it...smh
@@esmeraldag5485 you are so right!
This interviewer is so insensitive and blind that he forgets he's black interviewing black people in an injustice country!!🤨 "This can happen to you too Mr. Interview man!" In my John Witherspoon voice!😤
30years and the interviewer is surprised this man has fears and scars....... He served that time physically and mentally
Wow this interview disrespected this man. Of course he is stil traumatized!
I visited this museum in 2019 and plan to visit again. It was so touching I couldn't take in it all in..
Please visit this Museum in Montgomery AL and support the cause financially..
I just have so much admiration and respect for this man...I bless his life!
After seeing the movie “just Mercy” I don’t really know if I want to ever move to the south and raise my children in that close minded, racist, one sided and KKK infused environment.
The Nobel peace price belongs to him.So many hero’s behind the scene in this world,
Brian S. is a hero for dedicating his life to help innocent men off of deathrow. The movie was awesome and the truth!
This interviewer omg . Totally dropped the ball
J.R. Milankovits He never had the ball to begin with. So out of touch/ insensitive.
Lmao ! Girl yes agreed!
Out of touch oreo.
What is wrong with this interviewer??
Sarah K right very insensitive
He's tone deaf!
I'd make a wager this interviewer would have Never asked a holocaust survivor if they still cry. Im jus sayin 😒
Alot of People don't Know As Christians This Is What we are Suppose to do.. but I believe you have to have a Passion To do this. The Scripture is Proverbs 24:11
Is happening now, we are listening! 🙏❤️
I just watched Just Mercy - I am glad I've seen this now too
This movie was really good. Bryan and people like them do exist and that's wonderful.
"First time I've been in the rain in 30 years, it feels wonderful"
I have read this book and it is one of the most important books that I have read and Mr. Stevenson is one of my favorite person. The wok that he has done is of such great importance and after reading this book I never looked at the judicial system with the same set of eyes . Thank you Mr Stevenson you are a hero
This clip is powerful. "With faith, we shall overcome.
Bryan Stevenson has inspired me a lot and God bless him more and give him a long and happy life 😊
I dont understand how can a human being treat another like that.....
But there is always that one beautiful soul! Amen
Do you know how many stories are out here like this. TOO MANY!! They want us to forget and forgive while they continue to dismantle us.
Heartbreaking for our brothers and sisters!!! Thank God for this brilliant young man!!!!
January 14th 2020.....I am on the clock here in Melrose Park Illinois USA watching this video.... Thank you for posting this information.... As a blue collar Union electricians and plumbers worker in the suburbs West of Chicago Illinois USA... A black man who will always remember those who fought and died for me to have the opportunity that they did not have.... I APPRECIATE you...........
Chilling .....but full of gratitude to a man like Stevens
This man w who s heaven sent
May God continue to bless his heart. We need more ppl like him. Where u care more about ppl n speak the truth regardless of what may happen
Michael B. Jordan should win an Oscar for this movie.
Was he nominated?
@@vashtas NEVER...
I’m going to be crying like a baby when I watch this film 〰️💜〰️
I did today 🤦🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️😥😥😥 but we have to keep it front and center... WE CAN NOT MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE🤦🏾♀️‼
Wanda Ballard-Bryant I’m sad for so much of the past, and disturbed by the way division is being used by certain politicians now.... and am glad the story of ‘Just Mercy’ is being told....!!
Wonderfeel me tooo, havent seen it yet, still looking for it on youtube, someone help plz
Sakura Gittens may be a while longer before it’s findable online... seeing at theatre with no distraction is special. But seeing it any way is important! 💜
Wonderfeel i agree, its a must see, cant wait to see!!! Thanks
What an extraordinary man!
Bryan Stevenson deserves to be recognized for his great work.
Good morning everyone,crying like a baby just mercy.
Yes I sure cryed!!! It is so sad but a great movie!!
Who is this clueless interviewer?
This morning I had the pleasure of meeting the real life grandson of Mr. McMillan. It was truly a honor!
Finished reading “Just Mercy today. Bryan Stevenson is chosen by God to make many wrong things right in this broken word. Thank you for opening my eyes and my heart and showing me what it means to be Christian💖
30 years for a crime you did not commit.. that is insane. I cannot.
these types of stories are so heartwarming too me in that there are times when the wrong person wrongly convicted
I tell you what....
I cried like a darn baby the entire movie!!
the INTERVIEWER is so annoying with all his "Really?". why is he so belittling to the people he is interviewing
Even though times have changed it’s not all better and we’re still experiencing the repercussions of our actions in the past. I know it’s never not going to be painful I just hope people find peace.
It's staring Mike B an Jamie Foxx a must see Movie I know I'm going to see it this weekend for sure. .
Bless you Sir, you are a God send, Amen
Thank you Bryan Stevenson for doing what is right in the eyes of the beholder.
Thank you so much for this informative video! I got so much out of it.
30 years for nothing man wow and for him to be so happy really shows you the true character of a Man
Of a Black Man
Otis Jones I didn’t want to use black this time but I feel u
Awesome in so many ways! Hurtful as well, but his sentiment of hope rings so true. Ironically attending DSU, allowed me to know Bryan's mom and her spirit is vivid in her son.. Job well done, so proud, and motivated by the actions of this great man!
How many others are wrongly convicted ! Shameful
Hundreds, if not thousands.
Rain? Thirty years!!!!!!!! Powerful.
😪
Narrator asking Jamie Fox if he should be reminded of his resume was just 🙄🤦🏿♂️
I was looking for this comment. I could not believe my eyes 👀 and ears 👂🏼. Why did he need to question him after he said the most important move in my life? This movie was personal for Jamie.
Brian Stevenson has cried many tears, has many victories, and has seen the failure in America criminal justice system. Someone need to take on the inhumane treatment of inmates in the prison system today. It take gamechangers like Brian Stevenson to make a difference in this cruel world.
Hatred is one of the root causes of every problem in this world.
Awesome museum and memorial everyone should visit. It was an honor to experience such history in one space.
There’s no relationship until we learn to say sorry. Why do we continue to give power to those who reluctant to say sorry?
I don’t like the interviewer! He has a very bad vibe about him! He seems not to care at all or maybe he thinks the guy is guilty
This story makes me want to see this movie even more now.
please go see the movie. It is a very eye-opening movie. I have seen it. I love to see based on true movies. It is a very powerful beautiful movie. I take away that when you are born with black or brown skin you have to watch your surroundings because you can be accused of something that you did not do and go to jail forever and nobody cares! I am so sorry to say racism is still here in the USA I feel it.
Thank you, thank you
Bryan Stevenson is a true American hero! He has an amazing beautiful soul! Thank you for being a voice for the voiceless !
I watched this movie on Martin Luther King day " JUST MERCY" is a must watch movie.
This movie totally worth my time.
Yes! I m from Georgia...yes. I came from NYC to GA, the home of my ancestors back in the 1980's, dating back to the slave ship on both sides of the family. Currently, my husband doing time in TX for something he didn't do, falsely accused with so-called evidence and witnesse. Yet we were not able to have the resources to pay for good representation. And we were both in the medical field, paramedics, not gang- bangers...need I say more? If you know of any lawyers like this wonderful lawyer, please let me know. So glad this movie is out!
Just watched this had me crying the first 5 mins. Phenomenal movie!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💯
can someone get this guy the noble peace prize already hahaha
A handful of white friends and I are reading Bryan's book together; it is changing my world. We have so much to learn. I think we need to travel to Montgomery too.
Why would that interviewer NOT think that Jamie would feel that this movie is the MOST important role he has ever played??!!?! Seriously!! Come on now how do you not know that and see that.
This movie is out today in the netherlands, im gonna watch it one of these days!!!
saw the movie and visited the EJI & The Legacy Museum in Mobile AL in 2018...great job Bryan Stevenson!!! May God Bless You!
I encourage everyone to read the book, Just Mercy, and then see the film. Bryan Stevenson, is a remarkable person, who has made exonerating innocent Black men, his goal. His museum on lynching in Montgomery, Alabama is on my list as a Must See.
I want to see that too!!!
Bryan Stevenson is a hero. Super lawyer
Jamie and Michael... Amazing!
I am inspired. God bless Bryan. This is legacy
Until 1950 they still doing it now
The sun still shines
Wow I saw the movie last week. Yes this brother is close to being perfect...A true fleshly god 👍🏿🙏🏿
That reporter needs to be thrown in prison for that disrespect! He needs a reality check!
No sympathy at all 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Btw the movie was awesome! Had me in tears. Bryan is one heck of a great man doing what he’s doing! God bless him and everyone fighting for justice!!
#justmercy I am reading his book now! I can't wait to see the movie but after the book. AMAZING. I wish there were more Bryan Stephensons. I wish I were more like him.
